Featuring
Programme
- Messiaen Un Sourire, 7′
- Elgar Violin Concerto, 45′
- Beethoven Symphony No. 6 (Pastoral), 40′
Birds singing, streams flowing, summer sunshine and a distant rumble of thunder – Beethoven’s Pastoral symphony is the sound of a genius relaxing amidst nature, and with Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla conducting, it’ll refresh your spirit. First, though, dive deep into the dark heart of English music as the “exquisite” (The Washington Post) Vilde Frang plays Elgar’s impassioned Violin Concerto. Thought British music was unemotional? Think again!
CBSO+ 6.15pm: Osborn Music Director Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla talks to CBSO Chief Executive Stephen Maddock OBE.
