Join a BSO chamber ensemble featuring players from across the orchestra for a celebration of the sea in From the Hebrides to Padstow. Featuring music from Handel and Mendelssohn to the Beatles and Adele, and presented by a BSO Associate Musician to guide audiences of all ages on a nautical musical journey.

This relaxed performance is adapted for concertgoers with autistic spectrum conditions, sensory, communication or learning difficulties, for families with young children and anyone who would benefit from a less formal environment. There is a relaxed attitude to noise, the audience will be free to move about, sing or dance, and leave and re-enter the hall during the concert. There will be plenty of room to spread out, and you can bring cushions or a bean bag to make yourself comfortable. There will also be a Chill Out area for anyone needing a bit of quiet time before or during the performance.
