BBC Radio 3’s In Tune Live with the BBC Symphony Orchestra & BBC Singers

Available for booking

Join the BBC Symphony Orchestra and the BBC Singers for a feast of music-making as they give their very last concert at Maida Vale Studios ahead of the move to their new home at East Bank on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

Petroc Trelawny is the host as both ensembles, their Chief Conductors Sakari Oramo and Sofi Jeannin, former BBC New Generation Artist mezzo-soprano Helen Charlston and of course you, our audience, gather for a very special live edition of BBC Radio 3’s In Tune. 
 
It’s both a celebration and a send-off – as interviews and live chat mingle with music ranging from Edward Elgar and Ethel Smyth to Igor Stravinsky, Noël Coward and Caroline Shaw. Above all, it’s a feast of melody: a moment in musical history, featuring Richard Strauss, Malcolm Arnold, Ralph Vaughan Williams and many more. Join us as we salute the past and toast the future.
