Many of the finest performing groups, orchestras, choirs and soloists from across the UK and around the world take part to delight audiences, radio-listeners and television viewers.
Running from July 19 – September 14 at the Royal Albert Hall in London and elsewhere in the UK, people can enjoy events demonstrating an extraordinary breadth of music, including many works old and new from the Wise Music catalogues.
