BST Hyde Park is thrilled to announce that the extraordinary classical music experience, All Things Orchestral, returns to Hyde Park for a fourth year as part of the Open House programme on Thursday 2 July. Hosted once more by Myleene Klass MBE, the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra – conducted by Stephen Bell – will whisk the audience on a journey through time, celebrating Cinematic Classics and much more. The full programme is to be announced. Tickets go on sale on 29 May, visit www.bst-hydepark.com
The hugely successful previous editions have featured some of the biggest names in classical music – from acclaimed US composer Laura Karpman to MILǑS, Alfie Boe and Esther Abrami, with last year hosting the world premiere of The Fantastic Four: First Steps Suite, composed by none other than Oscar-winner Michael Giacchino.
True to the accessible ethos of BST Hyde Park’s Open House, All Things Orchestral will offer affordable tickets. With many orchestras and arts organisations struggling, and attendance of classical performances in decline, All Things Orchestral is here to remind people of the power of classical music, and introduce it to new audiences. Gold Circle ticket prices will be available from £7.95 on first release.
Stephen Bell is a British conductor who trained under Norman Del Mar at the Royal College of Music and has built a varied international career. He holds leadership roles with the City of Oxford Orchestra, Hallé Pops, and RTÉ Concert Orchestra, and works regularly with major UK ensembles including the Royal Philharmonic, BBC orchestras, and Bournemouth Symphony. His work spans classical recordings, BBC Proms appearances, television broadcasts, and collaborations with pop and folk artists.
