- Wagner: The Flying Dutchman overture
- Rachmaninoff: Piano concerto no. 4 - soloist William Green

A spokesperson Airedale Symphony Orchestra said:
“With pirates and ghosts and treasure chests in Wagner’s overture to 'The Flying Dutchman'. Passionate homecomings in a Rachmaninoff piano concerto, and glorious music of wide horizons, light and power from Sibelius in his second symphony.
