Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment: The Night Shift

A chance to experience classical music in a new way as the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment’s Night Shift series comes to St George’s Bristol for the first time.  Grab a drink, sit back and enjoy an hour of great music, all introduced from the stage by Zeb Soanes and the musicians of the Orchestra – tonight an intimate chamber-sized ensemble.  As ever with The Night Shift, the usual classical ‘rules’ are dropped, so pictures, drinks and spontaneous applause are all welcome.
