John Suchet Presents: The Last Waltz in Concert

St Albans Cathedral, Saturday 17th September

They wrote some of the best-loved melodies in all music…

Who cannot hum a Strauss waltz? Yet behind the prolific compositions lay a darker discord of family drama, tension and disaster, all set against the turbulent backdrop of nineteenth century Austria.

In this one-off special concert, featuring Classic FM’s John Suchet and acclaimed international orchestra, Sinfonia Verdi, delight in the magnificent music of the Strausses and discover the truth behind Vienna’s extraordinary musical dynasty.

The Last Waltz in Concert will feature all-Strauss favourites, including the Blue Danube Waltz, Tales from the Vienna Woods, Tritsch Tratsch Polka and Radetzky March.
