The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra will be performing some of the world’s most iconic pop songs in Salisbury Cathedral this October.

Pop Goes Classical shows that a great melody transcends time and genre.

We are invited to what organisers describe as an unforgettable musical experience where the world’s best-loved songs are reimagined by the iconic Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra.

Set in the beauty and splendour of Salisbury Cathedral but with the intimacy of candlelight, this world-famous orchestra will take you from the heartfelt ballads of Ed Sheeran and John Legend to the anthemic sounds of Coldplay, U2, and Oasis, transforming well-loved songs such as Hallelujah, Fix You and Fields of Gold into sweeping symphonic masterpieces.

Whether you're a lifelong pop fan, a classical music enthusiast, or somewhere in between, this celebration of uplifting and emotional music is not to be missed.

PROGRAMME INCLUDES: Hallelujah – Leonard Cohen, Fix You – Coldplay, Fields of Gold – Sting, Don't Look Back in Anger – Oasis, All of Me – John Legend, Hello – Adele, Perfect – Ed Sheeran, I Will Always Love You - Whitney Houston/Dolly Parton, The Closest Thing to Crazy – Katie Melua, You Raise Me Up – Josh Groban, Unchained Melody – Righteous Brothers, Life on Mars – David Bowie, Back for Good – Take That, Candle in the Wind – Elton John

Tickets available from Eventbrite.co.uk and takes place on Friday 10th October 2025.
