Mars, Venus, Jupiter… everyone has their favourite bit of The Planets. But there’s far more to Holst’s masterpiece than just great melodies, and tonight, 100 years after Birmingham heard The Planets for the first time, Mirga and the CBSO introduce Thomas Adès’ Angel Symphony, specially created for the CBSO’s Centenary celebrations: a new work from the dazzling imagination behind the hit opera The Exterminating Angel.
CBSO+ 14 May, 6.15pm: Join composer, conductor and pianist Thomas Adès to hear more about tonight’s CBSO Centenary Commission – the world premiere of his new piece Angel Symphony.
