A large audience from every generation filled the hall.
Organizers say the concert is part of a season that aims to bring live music to wider audiences.
The orchestra was joined by guest soloists who brought fresh energy to familiar melodies.
The atmosphere
The audience, spanning several generations, sang along with the best-known songs.
The evening opened with classic pieces before moving on to new works by young composers.
Music is a language everyone understands without translation.
A recording of the concert will be released later this year.
Tickets sold out within days of going on sale, prompting plans for an extra date.
