About The Concert

Bob Bernhardt celebrates the musicians and audience he has grown to love since his debut here in 2006. In addition to glittering and familiar classical showpieces (The Flight of the Bumble Bee, Sabre Dance), you’ll hear members of the orchestra play featured solos (Bach’s Arioso, Sarasate’s Gypsy Airs), plus many of Bob’s personal favourites, from Broadway and Hollywood to beloved big band pop tunes (Stardust, You Made Me Love You). An elegant night of orchestral entertainment that will remind you why you love evenings at the Winspear with your ESO.

This concert will include an intermission.
