We are delighted once again to be presenting the annual concert
dedicated to the memory of Brian and Margaret Roper; a concert that
encourages future generations to develop their love of classical
music.

Youth is at the heart of this wonderful evening’s music making with
two BBC Young Musician finalists. Isata Kanneh-Mason gives her second
performance at The Bath Festival with Clara Schumann’s piano
concerto, and Proms star Jess Gillam, who took the Last Night of the
Proms by storm, performs a Saxophone Concerto by John Williams,
composer of Star Wars and Harry Potter. A fizzing evening of music is
brought to a close by Ravel’s blazing Bolero.

virtuosity’ THE ARTS DESK
