Some See Us
Be swept away by works from the composer known for his epic National Theatre scores at a concert with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and special guests.
Adrian Sutton is a Tony-nominated and Olivier-award winning composer. His prolific output includes chamber and orchestral works including a BBC Proms commission, and the scores for the National Theatre’s War Horse, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, Coram Boy, Angels in America and others.
Following a health diagnosis in 2022, told through the acclaimed Guardian article ‘Don’t Waste Time’, Sutton has embarked on a bold adventure: a series of concerts celebrating his life and works.
Join Sutton and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, with special guests and conductor Michael Seal, for an evening of music and celebration.
