An amazing night of classical music in photos. <\/p>\n On Monday 12 October, Classic FM Live with Viking<\/a> returned to London\u2019s Royal Albert Hall for an \u2018Out of This World\u2019 night of classical music. <\/p>\n Hosted by Classic FM presenters Dan Walker<\/a>, Myleene Klass<\/a>, and Aled Jones<\/a>, the concert was jam-packed with some of the greatest classical music performed by our official partners the Philharmonia Orchestra<\/a>, and conductor Stephen Bell. <\/p>\n The orchestra were joined on stage by a star-studded line-up of soloists, including star pianist Junyan Chen who made her Royal Albert Hall debut with a spell-binding \u2018Clair de lune\u2019 by Debussy, which held the audience in rapt silence, before bringing the first half to a thunderous close with the finale of Rachmaninov\u2019s Piano Concerto No.3.<\/p>\n The line-up also included legendary bass-baritone Sir Willard White, who sang an awe-inspiring rendition of \u2018Ol\u2019 Man River\u2019 from the musical Show Boat. <\/p>\n Sir Willard was joined on stage by New Zealand-Samoan tenor Emmanuel Fonoti-Fuimaono for Bizet\u2019s Pearl Fishers Duet, following his performance of Schubert\u2019s \u2018Ave Maria\u2019 earlier in the evening.<\/p>\n The celebrated Jamaican-British bass-baritone, who celebrated his 80th birthday just two days before the concert, was also surprised on stage with a birthday cake, as the Philharmonia Orchestra serenaded him with happy birthday! <\/p>\n See some of the photo highlights from a sparkling night of classical music below.<\/p>\n The Philharmonia Orchestra perform at Classic FM Live in an \u2018Out of This World\u2019 night of classical music.<\/p>\n Picture: The concert was conducted by Stephen Bell.<\/p>\n Picture: Classic FM presenters Dan Walker and Myleene Klass hosted the evening.<\/p>\n Picture: New Zealand-Samoan tenor Emmanuel Fonoti-Fuimaono made his Royal Albert Hall debut.<\/p>\n Picture: Also making her Royal Albert Hall debut, pianist Junyan Chen brought the first half of the concert to a thunderous close.<\/p>\n Picture: Sir Willard White took to the stage in the second half of the concert.<\/p>\n Picture: Aled Jones presented Sir Willard White with a special 80th birthday cake.<\/p>\n Picture: Listen to our \u2018Out of This World\u2019 Classic FM Live with Viking broadcast on Classic FM via Global Player, on Thursday 15 October at 7pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"15 October 2026, 09:25 | Updated: 15 October 2026, 09:30 Classic FM Live with Viking, \u2018Out of This…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":803708,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[96,128,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-803707","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-music","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/803707","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=803707"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/803707\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/803708"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=803707"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=803707"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=803707"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
