To celebrate its 20th anniversary BBT invited a selection of BBT Artists from around the world to take part in a weekend of five concerts at two distinctly contrasting London venues: Bold Tendencies where BBT soloists joined the Multi-Story Orchestra and a children’s choir for the world premiere of Verified, a large-scale work specially created for BBT20 by the Orchestra’s Young Creatives with their co-founder composer Kate Whitley; and Wigmore Hall, which dedicated an entire weekend to BBT20 with five concerts in which Mitsuko Uchida, a founding BBT trustee and key member of the Artistic Committee, joined BBT Artists on both evenings.

For BBT’s 20th anniversary we published a brochure detailing BBT’s achievements over two decades.
