The BSO is looking forward to its return to Fareham Live after two sold-out performances in the 2024/25 season. We are delighted to bring back conductor Enyi Okpara, this time paired with violinist extraordinaire, Nikita Boriso-Glebsky for an early Christmas treat.
Dvořák’s ebullient overture depicts the high-spirited tumult of a festive carnival setting – barkers, vendors, boisterous crowds, although it is interrupted with a tinge of melancholy.

The beautifully evocative score never fails to make a powerful impact.
