This autumn, our Blackheath Halls Orchestra will be discovering the wonders of Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite and Ruth Gipps’ Symphony No.2, a fascinating hidden gem from one of Britain’s most talented 20th-century composers.

- 4.30pm a 45 minute family concert with a presenter featuring excerpts from the Firebird Suite
