Dance students from Tu Danse Academy in Peterborough will be performing a selection of ballet favourites this month as they join the City of Peterborough Symphony Orchestra (CPSO) for an afternoon concert that will be sure to have toes tapping and put a spring in your step.

The CPSO spring concert ‘Rhythm & Dance’ will be held at Queen Katharine Academy Hall on Sunday, 8th March 2026 at 3pm.

Deirdre Culloty, Chair of CPSO, said: “It’s going to be a lively and exhilarating spring concert. We have had the pleasure of the Tu Danse students join us on stage before and the performances are always a beautiful accompaniment to the orchestra’s uplifting programme.”
