Audio T · Portsmouth

Cripps Hall · Northampton

Celebrated cellist Julian Lloyd Webber opens a day of live performances honouring Sir Malcolm Arnold at Cripps Hall and St Matthew’s Church in the composer’s hometown of Northampton.

The community‑focused event showcases the composer’s music performed by guest ensembles including the Northampton Symphony Orchestra and Towcester Studio Band.
