You’re lying or sitting in a cathedral, looking up at the soaring arches and beautiful ceiling above.
Lighting states shift and capture the mood as a seamless musical sequence fills the magical space from all directions... like a radio mix or eclectic playlist, but performed live and all around you by 100+ musicians, with orchestral drama, solo virtuosity and heartbursting moments of choral beauty.
From the beloved and instantly recognisable to add-to-playlist new favourites, there will be orchestral, choral, solo and chamber music by Bruckner, Copland, Ēriks Ešenvalds, Handel, Morten Lauridsen, Parry, Prokofiev, Caroline Shaw, Vivaldi and many more.
Whether you love classical music or you’ve never thought it was for you, Surround Sound Playlist offers an inspiring and unforgettable experience.
Options for how to experience the event
We think the ideal way to experience this event is to sit, stand or lie on a mat or cushion on the floor. We will provide mats, and you are welcome to bring an additional cushion or beanbag. However, if you are not able to sit on the floor, there will be plenty of chairs set against cathedral walls and around pillars. All tickets are unreserved, and places will be allocated on the day on a first-come, first-served basis.
How much does it cost?
Our concerts usually cost £35 top price or more, but we want this experience to be accessible to everyone, and tickets are therefore Pay What You Can, starting from just £5, and with other price options up to £35.
Adult and child prices are the same.
If you can afford to pay the normal price, or close to it, this will help us run more concerts like this in the future.
In each location we are also offering limited allocations of free tickets for residents of the most deprived local wards. Find out more >>
