Anthony Inglis and the National Symphony Orchestra

Spend your week at sea exploring everything your Cunard Queen has to offer, from elegant Afternoon Tea and Gala Evening events, to deck games and fast paced fitness classes. You’ll also find plenty of opportunities to learn more about the world of classical music, and the celebrated and charismatic conductor that is Anthony Inglis, as he talks candidly about his career at relaxed Q&A sessions.

A chance to rehearse with the choir is another voyage highlight. Enjoy the opportunity to put your own vocal strengths to the test with the best and join the group performance on stage in the Royal Court Theatre in the evening.

The National Symphony Orchestra (NSO) has been sailing on Cunard voyages for many years. Ahead of the 2023 voyage, we spoke with conductor Anthony Inglis, NSO Managing Director and Artistic Director Justin Pearson, and our very own Captain Hashmi, to reflect on their experiences in a special Cunard Stories article.

The National Symphony Orchestra (UK) is one of the longest established and most versatile professional freelance orchestras working in Britain today. It has an impressive recorded legacy as well as a busy diary of live concert performances. The NSO is admired for both its versatility and ability to communicate, connecting with audiences with consistent commitment and passion.

Recent projects include recording Debbie Wiseman’s score for the Sky Movies film “To Olivia”, featuring in two episodes of Netflix’s “The Crown”, and being chosen to record the score for Queen Elizabeth II's 90th birthday celebrations.
