In the early 1970s Barclay James Harvest pioneered the fusion of rock and classical music, touring with their own orchestra own symphony orchestra. On the 23rd September 2023, a stunning and unique concert took place which saw the first performance by any incarnation of Barclay James Harvest with a symphony orchestra to take place in UK since 1973.
