written word in all its wonderful variety.
Maestro Anthony Inglis will conduct the National Symphony
Orchestra in the two most memorable orchestral performances
in the Royal Court Theatre. Guests will be treated to a concert
of all-American music, including Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue
after departing New York, and an evening celebrating the Best of
British music before arriving in London. Charismatic conductor
Inglis leads the audience, guest choir, soloists and orchestra in
both concerts, as well as presenting another concert featuring
Ravel’s Bolero.
You will have the chance to hear a hugely entertaining talk by Inglis
about his distinguished career as an international conductor of
