London Firebird Orchestra: Firebird Festival Night

About the Event

Experience an unforgettable evening of extraordinary musical talent at the Firebird Festival Night, set in the breathtaking St. George’s Church, Hanover Square.

Esteemed as one of Britain’s premier actors, writers, and directors, Simon Callow CBE, will join us as the narrator this autumn. Known for his portrayals of figures like Mozart, Napoleon, and Charles Dickens, Simon Callow’s presence is widely recognized across film, television, and stage.

Firebird Festival Nights is a collaboration between Firebird and Yury Revich’s Festival Nights series, primarily hosted in Vienna.

The highlight of this program is a stunning arrangement of Beethoven’s Kreutzer Sonata for Violin and String Orchestra, accompanied by narrated excerpts from Leo Tolstoy’s literary masterpiece sharing the same name.

Adding to this are Yury’s melodious compositions, perfectly balanced with renowned virtuoso pieces by Massenet and Sarasate.

A fourth‐generation solo violinist, Yury Revich is celebrated with awards such as the ECHO Classic and International Classical Music Awards. His dynamic international concert schedule includes performances with Firebird every season since 2019.
