Bradford Theatres’ International Concert Season 2026 opens at St George’s Hall on Sunday 4 January with the Hallé, celebrating the New Year in traditional Viennese fashion. Conductor Stephen Bell and the Hallé will be joined by British-Iranian soprano Soraya Mafi. This annual whirl around the dance floors of Vienna will include romantic waltzes, thrilling polkas, exciting marches and some beautiful songs, from composers such as Suppé, Léhar, the Strauss family and more.
The Czech Janáček Philharmonic Orchestra make their first visit to St George’s Hall, led by one of Europe’s most highly regarded conductors, Daniel Raiskin, whose collaboration with the orchestra has developed their very considerable reputation. In a programme of great favourites, one of the UK’s most highly regarded violinists Chloë Hanslip will perform Bruch’s wonderfully romantic Violin Concerto No. 1. The second half will be a definitive performance of Dvořák’s ever popular Symphony No. 9 From The New World which features the famous theme from the 1970’s Hovis bread TV advert. The programme opens with a piece by another Czech composer, Janáček: the enchanting Prelude & Pantomime from his opera the Cunning Little Vixen.
The 2026 season ends with an exhilarating performance of Haydn’s The Creation, a work of staggering beauty and joyful celebration, brought to life by the combined forces of Bradford Festival Choral Society and the Yorkshire Symphony Orchestra.
