My Homeland

If you are looking for plans in Brighton this autumn, the London Philharmonic Orchestra is bringing a concert titled My Homeland to the Brighton Dome Concert Hall on November 7, 2026. The performance is scheduled to start at 19:30, but there is an opportunity to arrive a bit earlier at 18:45, when young musicians from Create Music will be performing in the foyer. It is a nice way to ease into the evening before the main programme begins.

The programme itself focuses on a mix of 20th-century orchestral works. The orchestra, led by guest conductor Kellen Gray, will perform Dvořák’s My Homeland (which runs for about 9 minutes), followed by Florence Price’s Violin Concerto No. 1, featuring soloist Elena Urioste for a 25-minute piece. The evening concludes with William Grant Still’s Symphony No. 4, a 26-minute composition. It is a specific selection of music that highlights the work of American pioneers like Price and Still alongside Dvořák’s piece.

Regarding the logistics, the venue is located at Church Street, Brighton, BN1 1UE. Tickets are available for purchase, and the organisers have a tiered discount system in place if you are planning to attend multiple concerts in their series. You can get a 10% discount if you book two concerts, 15% for three, or 20% if you choose four. It is worth checking the official London Philharmonic Orchestra website or the Brighton Dome listings if you want to secure your seat or look into those package deals.
