The grand Epic Festival 2026, featuring 86 concerts over eight weeks, has become one of the most popular classical music events. As we approach the final night of this festival, it’s time for you to share your experiences. Did you enjoy the new music that took the stage this year? Which soloists amazed you? Did you sing along with the Jupiter Ensemble to Hey Jude?
Unforgettable Concerts
This season, incredible concerts were held at the Royal Albert Hall, on the radio, and online. Did you attend concerts in Bristol, Sunderland, Gateshead, or Mold? Our critics highly praised the performance by the Berlin Philharmonic, John Wilson and the Sinfonia of London, and the Finnish Orchestra conducted by Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla. Additionally, the Aurora Orchestra concert featuring works by Mahler was memorable.
Among the new music introduced this season, Festen Suite by Turnage with its beautiful and vibrant colors, Bassoon Concerto by Thea Musgrave as a delightful treat, and Cello Concerto by Jessie Montgomery as a magical moment remain unforgettable.
