Cardiff Rachmaninov
BBC National Orchestra Of Wales • St David's Hall • Royal Welsh College Of Music & Drama • Welsh National Opera Orchestra • Philharmonia Orchestra • Dresden Philharmonic
It’s sometimes hard to fully realise what’s on our doorstep. But with three exceptional concert halls, two great orchestras, and an international concert series attracting the world’s finest orchestras, and much more – Cardiff really is a world-class centre for classical music.
Working together to present music by Rachmaninov across Cardiff
To celebrate this and to encourage as many people as possible to enjoy what’s on offer, Cardiff’s orchestras and concert halls are coming together to stage a city-wide festival. Cardiff Rachmaninov spans three months this autumn and offers an opportunity to lose yourself in the Romantic, beautiful and haunting music of this much-loved Russian composer. You will have the opportunity to experience his most popular works or you can seize the opportunity to sample some of his lesser known gems.
It’s entirely up to you what you choose to see. Whatever you choose, we hope you’ll agree Cardiff is a very special place for classical music.
