British in Bristol: Stephen Hough and Bristol Classical Players at St George's

Alexandra Hamilton-Ayres, 6th October

Two encores, a virtuoso and a cracking orchestra. This concert truly celebrated the best of British music and musicians, as the first concert in St George’s “Best of British” concert season. The scene was set with an array of red, white and blue amongst the orchestra in several forms: bow ties, flags, ribbons and other accessories.
