Jean Sibelius’ Violin Concerto at the Forum

Bath Philharmonia invites you to attend their next concert on Wednesday 26 April at the Bath Forum featuring super-star violinist Jennifer Pike, who has played in every major concert hall in Europe, performing Jean Sibelius’ Violin Concerto. With music by Ludvig van Beethoven, Isobel Waller-Bridge and Joseph Bologne there is so much music to discover.

Bath Philharmonia plays in the premier league of British orchestras and brings world-class soloists to the centre of Bath. They are a family of professional musicians dedicated to making orchestral music part of life for many people. Established at the turn of the millennium, they have over 20 years’ experience of bringing people together musically to enjoy live performance.

Bath Philharmonia is a charity and when not on the stage, they’re busy working with young people in schools and community halls across the south west. With a 12-year track record in enabling young carers to make and perform their own music, Bath Phil was nominated for the RPS Award in 2019 for the category of Impact. The Bath Phil Creative Learning Team are experts in supporting young people who don’t yet think of themselves as musical to create their own music and to perform it with the orchestra.

Through the #BathPhilforFree scheme, Bath Phil is openingup the concert hall to people that may have never heard a live orchestra perform or want to try something new by gifting tickets for their concerts to local residents.
