BSO Brass & Winds EnsembleThis event has now finishedA concert for all ages by BSO's Principal Brass & Wind players
Designed for families, new audiences, and seasoned concert goers alike, join Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra's wind and brass ensemble for music ranging from the Upper West Side to deepest Somerset. Featuring 9 of BSO's principal brass and wind players, the Homelands programme journeys to New York with Bernstein, Amelie's Paris with Yann Tiersen, and rural England with Vaughan Williams and The Wellerman.
Lucy Warren, Head of BSO Participate, says “Our BSO on Your Doorstep concerts present an opportunity for audiences to come and experience something new and different from their local orchestra. We want to give everyone the chance to experience the power of live music; whether that’s hearing known favourites in a new light through our arrangements, or a new piece of music entirely, all concerts are presented from the stage and give the audience that extra special chance to get to know more about the players and music of Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra.”
