Globally acclaimed conductor, Daniel Barenboim, has announced a second performance at the Royal Festival Hall this October to raise funds for MS research.
The second concert will take place on Sunday 29 October at 2pm. The first concert was the fastest selling concert in the Southbank Centre’s 2017/18 classical series.
The concert will be a tribute to the acclaimed cellist, Jacqueline du Pré, Daniel’s wife of 20 years. Jacqueline had MS and died aged just 42. This October marks the 30th anniversary of her death.
She was recognised as one of the most talented cellists in history before her illness forced her to give up playing.
