What the World Needs Now: the Burt Bacharach Songbook

This concert celebrates the music of Burt Bacharach, a composer of 20th-century popular music. The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra performs his greatest hits, from "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" to "(They Long to Be) Close to You," in a sweeping orchestral tribute.

Attendees can expect an evening of lush, sophisticated arrangements that defined an era. Bacharach's songs, often written with lyricist Hal David, feature atypical chord progressions and jazz-influenced harmonies, brought to life by a full symphony orchestra.

This is a rare opportunity to hear the Bacharach songbook performed live by a symphony orchestra, capturing the elegance and emotional depth of his iconic catalog.
