SOUTHBANK TARGETS BIGGEST MUSICAL
Southbank has targetted new audiences with the UK's biggest classical music programme. One-hour orchestral performances on Sunday afternoons will offer bite-size tastings of classical Blues fare, drinks will be allowed into more informal events and audiences will be brought closer to musicians by means of a walk-through video installation simulating being on stage with a "virtual" Philharmonia Orchestra.
A raft of such projects, along with concerts by some of the world's foremost classical musicians, have been announced by the Southbank and its resident orchestras for its 2011/12 season in the Royal Festival Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall, Purcell Room and other areas.
