The Dome faifthul were out in force for the first Brighton Philharmonic Orchestra concert of the new year and clearly they were delighted with the programme.

It is a feature of the 88th season that music director Barry Wordsworth and BPO general manager Judith Clark have opted for more popular works and it was Saints-Saens’ mighty Symphony No 3, the Organ Symphony, that stole the show.

Not that concert-goers were shortchanged elsewhere for after a rousing start provided by the Prelude and well known Triumphal March from Verdi’s Aida, there was a superb performance of Francis Poulenc’s Concerto for Two Pianos by Royal Ballet pianists Kate Shipway and Robert Clark.
