Budapest Festival Orchestra: Dvořák Inside Out listing on Broadway Baby

Immerse yourself in Dvoks lively Eighth Symphony in this evening of music and conversation, presented in the round.

A chance to experience a symphonic masterpiece as youve never heard it before. In typical Budapest Festival Orchestra fashion, this is a concert with a difference. This fresh format invites you to experience the inside of both the music and the orchestra in a casual and conversational presentation in the round.

Inspired by the orchestra's Midnight Music concert series in Budapest, you will sit on the floor on beanbags and cushions in whats normally the stalls, with the musicians placed among the audience. The whole symphony is performed, but rather than going straight through from start to finish, conductor Ivn Fischer stops and starts to allow time for explanations and questions.

The Eighth Symphony is among Antonn Dvoks most ambitious orchestral works. Its full of melody, drama and the mingled lilt and fire of Czech folk rhythms. Whether or not youve heard it before, this is a remarkable opportunity to see for yourself how it and the orchestra that plays it, really work.

Supported by Sir Ewan and Lady Brown

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
