Prepared to be moved by lush English melodies, a deeply romantic symphony and the full force of the CBSO Chorus.
There’s nothing quite like hearing a choir in full force – it’s a deeply moving experience. And when combined with lush melodies evoking the beautiful English countryside, and one of Britain's great baritones Roderick Williams, there won’t be a dry eye in the house. The second half is just as beautiful, as the orchestra perform Vaughan Williams’ Fifth Symphony – gentle, melodic, uplifting and deeply romantic – making it perfect for date night!
