The Brigantes War and Renewal Musical Journeys Through Time 5

Welcome to the 2026/2027 season of The Brigantes Orchestra! Step into a musical time machine and explore how great composers have shaped the sounds we hear today. Each concert in our new season begins in a different year, then travels across the centuries to reveal how familiar ideas - beautiful melodies, vivid storytelling, nature, memory and national character - have been reimagined again and again. Why not guarantee your seat at every concert and save 20% on the whole lot by buying a season ticket here!Arvo Part's haunting tribute to Benjamin Britten takes us to 1977 and opens a programme shaped by reflection and remembrance.
