Brighton Philharmonic have made the following announcement at the end of their current season:-<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the end of this season, the Brighton Philharmonic\u2019s 90th<\/sup>, Barry Wordsworth will be moving to a new role within the BPO, becoming the orchestra\u2019s first Conductor Laureate, after 26 years as Music Director & Principal Conductor. \u00a0\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

We shall continue to enjoy Barry\u2019s charismatic leadership throughout next season and beyond, as he will be conducting six of the eight concerts in the 2015\/16 season at Brighton Dome.<\/i><\/p>\n

In the meantime we are fortunate that Ian Brignall, our Concert Manager, has been working closely with Barry in planning our programmes. \u00a0He will continue to do so while we consider whom to appoint as Music Director in the longer term. \u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

Barry has been only the third Music Director in the 90 year history of the orchestra and we marked his huge part in our story after the final concert of the season at Brighton Dome on Sunday 22 March at a reception for Friends of the Philharmonic. \u00a0The Mayor of Brighton & Hove thanked Barry for his enormous contribution to the cultural life of the city, and the Friends of the Phil presented him with a token of their appreciation for his many years of service to the BPO.<\/i><\/p>\n

Sunday 22 March was also the day of the BPO\u2019s open rehearsal for schoolchildren to which over 300 children from local primary schools were invited.\u00a0 These children have recently attended music workshops given by BPO players, funded by the Fonthill Foundation, an educational trust, which focused on \u201cMars\u201d from Holst\u2019s The Planets suite, one of the BBC\u2019s Ten Pieces chosen to inspire young children to \u201cget creative with classical music\u201d.\u00a0 Workshop participants were invited to attend the morning rehearsal in the Dome Concert Hall to experience \u201cMars\u201d played live and then to attend the concert that afternoon free of charge, with accompanying adults at a flat discounted rate.\u00a0 <\/i><\/p>\n

Below are details of the summer concerts and the new season for 2015-16<\/p>\n
