The Little Mermaid
This is a concert suitable for young and old, with favourites from every generation included, so why not make it a family or group occasion (group tickets are available on request from the ticket secretary). This concert is not in the tradition of a formal concert and younger members of the audience will be especially welcome.
Christmas at home with the HPO
Christmas music galore, old and new, songs from Rowena and carols for you to sing too.
Hall of Fame 2023
