Classic FM will celebrate the best classical anthems of all time with a live concert at London’s Royal Albert Hall next year.
Classic FM Live on Monday 22nd April 2024 will include Handel’s Zadok the Priest, Finlandia by Sibelius and By the Beautiful Blue Danube by Johann Strauss Jr.
The concert will also celebrate the 80th birthday of Sir Karl Jenkins – one of the world’s most performed living composers – who will conduct some of his best-loved pieces such as Adiemus (‘Songs of Sanctuary’) and The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace.
Hosted by Classic FM presenters Alexander Armstrong and Myleene Klass, there will be performances from the Royal Scottish National Orchestra and Chorus, alongside a host of star guest soloists, concluding with a breath-taking lights and fireworks finale.
The concert will be sponsored by Viking for the 9th year running and will be recorded for broadcast on Classic FM and filmed for Sky Arts.
