Kian Soltani plays Dvořák

If you are looking for plans this autumn, the London Philharmonic Orchestra is returning to the Brighton Dome on Saturday, 3 October 2026. They are bringing cellist Kian Soltani for a programme that focuses on two major works from the romantic repertoire. The evening is set to begin at 19:30, with doors opening a bit earlier at 18:45 for those who want to get settled in before the music starts.

The programme for the night is quite straightforward, featuring two substantial pieces. First, Kian Soltani will perform Dvořák’s Cello Concerto, which runs for about 40 minutes. Following that, the orchestra will play César Franck’s Symphony in D minor, a piece that lasts roughly 41 minutes. The entire performance will be conducted by Marie Jacquot. It is a classic orchestral setup, and for anyone interested in how these specific pieces sound in the acoustics of the Brighton Dome Concert Hall, it is a fairly standard programme choice for the orchestra's 2026/27 season.

Regarding the logistics, tickets are available at a few different price points depending on where you choose to sit. Prices are set at £18.50, £26, £31, and £36, with premium seating options available at £44. If you are planning to go with a group or are interested in attending multiple concerts throughout the season, there are some discounts available: 10% off for two concerts, 15% for three, and 20% for four. For those attending with younger people, there is a specific ticket price of £10 for anyone under 18. Just keep in mind that the venue has a policy where anyone under 14 needs to be accompanied by an adult to enter the hall.

It is worth noting that this concert is part of a wider series, so if you are a regular at the Brighton Dome, you might already be familiar with the orchestra's schedule. Whether you are a long-time fan of Dvořák or just curious about the programme, the event offers a clear-cut evening of classical music without much fuss. It is a straightforward way to spend a Saturday night in the city, provided you have your tickets sorted in advance.
