London Philharmonic Orchestra: Brighton Dome's Blessed By Four Unique Concerts
The London Philharmonic Orchestra has always been made to feel welcome in Brighton - so the Dome is particularly pleased that, as it enters the 2008/09 season, its seaside audience is not only increasing in enthusiasm, but also in size.
This season we won't disappoint, bringing four delicious concerts to Brighton Dome.
Beginning with a visit from one of the world's most distinguished conductors, Gennadi Rozhdestvensky, who conducts music by Tchaikovsky on 8 November, as a reflection of the venue's festival of the composer's music in London.
Tchaikovsky universally intrigues, captivates, uplifts and entertains.
And as the Brighton season continues, it embraces more of the celebrated Russian's most cherished works, including the Fourth Symphony, the First Piano Concerto and the Violin Concerto.
Other treats include one of the most spectacular achievements of the Romantic movement, Hector Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique, and Jean Sibelius's sumptuous Second Symphony, as well as a favourite concerto by Rodrigo, overture by Rossini, and suite by Grieg.
The season offers great music, great artists and a great orchestra - play your part as an equally great Brighton audience!
In addition to the Orchestra's work on the concert platform, the London Philharmonic Orchestra's Education and Community Department works closely with Brighton Dome's Education Unit to enhance and support the Orchestra's residency in Brighton.
Working together, and building on very successful past initiatives, the Orchestra and Brighton Dome have planned a year-long project to complement the season.
London Philharmonic Orchestra @ Brighton Dome on Saturday 18th april 2009.
Tickets, priced £10 £15 £18 £23 £27.50 & £32.50, are available from the Brighton Dome Ticket Office on 01273 709709.

It really should be ridiculous, but it isn't. Somehow concocting a seemingly obnoxious stew that includes such tasty ingredients as incest, violence, mutilation, and nudity - at Theatre Royal Brighton, no less - all comes together in the mix to serve up one of the tastiest treats of Brighton Festival.

With the Festival and Festival Fringe already packing the streets, bars and venues of Brighton, it got pretty wild on the streets of the city when the annual Great Escape Festival was added to the throng over the weekend.
It was difficult to get a foot in many-a venue, let alone an eye on the performers, as vast queues snaked the...

Mariella Frostrup is both the intellectual kingpin and host of The Book Show, on Sky Arts. Featuring an array of A-list authors and other big-name guests, it was great to see the channel's flagship programme leave its studio setting and head to the Brighton Festival for two special recordings.

One of the hidden themes of Brighton Festival 2012 so far seems to be of a kind of theatre that is not theatre, at least not as you might expect it to be.
I have seen work enacted well out of any theatrical context in warehouses, theatre in a theatre but with a gla...

I have always had a curious fascination about what goes on other people's houses, have you? Are they like me, my family, or not? What do they think? How do they cope with things? How do they live?

The Bee Detective must have looked, to the assembled band of worthies from the cultural Olympiad, to be just up their street. As they clutched their list of 'things we need from our attempt to show that sports people are intelligent too and that the Olympics is actually not a boring load of expensive shit, a fitness contest sponsored by McDonald's and Coca-Cola, a drug-fuelled cheats paradise with mind numbing events like rifle shooting and wrestling actually CHARGING money to get in' they must have thought like this.
It is about the death of bees, a modern issue with environment relevance… tick!
