There’s dreadful news at the Southbank Centre – the composer is dead! The musicians are most certainly guilty of something. Where were the violins on the night in question? Did anyone see the harp? The London premiere of a diabolically fun-filled murder mystery in which we explore the crime and the orchestra’s family of instruments. A matinee concert for the whole family.
Some Menuhin Competition competitors will join the orchestra for the Tchaikovsky.
