Profile

Anton & Erin - Swing Time

Anton & Erin encapsulate the glitz, glamour and elegance of a bygone era and add showbiz sparkle wherever they appear. They are one of Britain’s most widely recognised, highly acclaimed, hard working and best loved ballroom dancing couples.

Household names and true stars of stage and screen, Anton Du Beke and Erin Boag have been professional partners since 1997. Rising quickly through the amateur ranks, they turned professional in 2002 and continued to win accolades and recognition, honing their talents on the competition circuit until, in 2004, they were chosen to star in the first series of BBC1’s Strictly Come Dancing.

The show burst onto our screens and has become a global phenomenon. Anton has appeared in all 12 series to date and Erin is the only female professional to have appeared in 10 (stepping down from the competition prior to the birth of her son).

Join Anton and Erin for a night of spectacular ballroom elegance with dazzling choreography, sparkling costumes and a sensational show band performing timeless music.

Contemporary Lunchtime Concert

100 Years of composing in America

As an internationally-renowned contemporary ensemble, BCMG presents a programme exploring chamber works by some of America’s greatest composers – Charles Ives, John Cage, Morton Feldman and Elliott Carter.

Ahead of its time, Ives’ music was innovative, daring and explorative. His Piano Trio which opens the concert is one of his greatest works. It was Ives who encouraged the late great Elliott Carter to study composition – and it is his piano trio, Epigrams, Carter’s last ever work, that brings the concert to a close.

Lunchtime Concert

Raúl Prieto Ramírez organ

Raúl Prieto Ramírez is the first Spanish organist in recent times to establish himself among the elites of the international concert scene. ‘His powerful personality, passionate expressiveness, gift for communication, and outstanding technique make him shine in a wide range of repertoire and styles’ (Los Angeles Philarmony). The premières of many of his works have been recorded and broadcast in Spain, including chamber music, organ music, many pieces for solo instruments and a concerto for organ and orchestra, which premiered at the Barcelona City Festival.

Today’s programme will include works by Bach, Buxtehude, Cabanilles, Widor and Reger.

REFUNDS AND EXCHANGES

St David’s Hall values its patrons’ commitment in booking early and recognises that emergencies sometimes prevent attendance.

Tickets may be exchanged for any other event at the same price or higher (on payment of the difference ). The exchange option is not available for sold out concerts. If the event falls within a specific season (eg Proms, Ballet etc), exchanged tickets will be offered within the same season. Tickets must be received at the Box Office not later than 48 hours before the original performance. There is a charge of £2.00 for this service. (Unfortunately, tickets purchased via the BBC Customer Care Centre cannot be exchanged or resold at St David’s Hall.)

Alternatively tickets will be accepted for resale on the strict understanding that St David’s Hall tickets will be sold first and that resale cannot be guaranteed. We cannot re-sell tickets unless the originals are first returned to the Box Office. 20% of the value of any resale will be retained.

Apart from these two services or the cancellation of a performance, money will not be refunded once tickets have been purchased.

In the event of a cancelled performance tickets must be returned to point of purchase (e.g. If purchased via one of our recognised ticket agents, they should be returned directly to them).

LATECOMERS

To avoid disruption, latecomers can be admitted to the auditorium only when there is an appropriate break in the performance. The concert can be viewed via closed circuit TV in the Level 3 Lounge.

CONDITIONS OF SALE

We reserve the right to make cast or programme changes if necessary.

Admission may be refused under certain circumstances and a refund may not be made. Please check tickets at time of purchase to ensure they are correct. Refunds are at the discretion of the Box Office Manager.

Please ensure your mobile phone is switched off during the performance. Photography or recording of any performance is not permitted.

Ticket Service Charge

All ticket purchases are subject to a Ticket Service charge of £3.95 per transaction so you will only pay £3.95 no matter how many tickets you buy at one time. The Ticket Service Charge covers the cost of producing your tickets, processing your order and delivering your tickets to you. We aim to provide exceptional service to customers whether they visit us in person, call on the phone or interact with us online. This small charge per transaction will enable us to continue to do this in the face of increasing demands on valuable resources.

*Some events will be exempt from the TSC – for example events organised by A2 Arts Active and any event where the top price is £13.00 or less.
