BBC CONCERT ORCHESTRA

Keith Lockhart, Principal Conductor
Charlie Albright, Piano

As the British Broadcasting Company’s “house band,” the BBC Concert Orchestra may be the most-heard classical ensemble in all of the United Kingdom. It prides itself on being a populist ensemble, playing a mix of classical, light classical, and popular music. Conducted by Poughkeepsie-born Keith Lockhart, also the conductor of the Boston Pops, the orchestra will be joined by 26-year-old pianist Charlie Albright, recipient of the 2014 Avery Fisher Career Grant. 

This performance is part of The Performing Arts Center’s Orchestras Series, made possible in part by support from the Tanaka Memorial Foundation.
