Walton – Coronation Te Deum

Walton – Belshazzar's Feast

Join the City of Southampton Orchestra and Southampton Philharmonic Choir for a memorable evening of live music in the heart of Southampton.

The concert begins with Walton's vibrant Coronation Te Deum, premiered 60 years ago at Elizabeth II's coronation. Elgar's ever-popular Enigma Variations follow, including the quintessentially English Nimrod.

In the second half, all forces are combined for Walton's thrilling and fiery Belshazzar's Feast, featuring baritone Nicholas Warden. Walton packs the music with drama, telling the story of the downfall of the Babylonian King Belshazzar. The emotion rises as the piece builds to an unforgettable finale.
