Sheku Kanneh-Mason plays Shostakovich

Symphony Hall, Birmingham

Price: £13 - £55
inc. per ticket commission

16 March Sheku Km.

Featuring

  • Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla – Conductor
  • Sheku Kanneh-Mason – Cello

Programme

  • Weinberg Symphony No. 4, 28′
  • Shostakovich Cello Concerto No. 2, 33′
  • Weinberg Symphony No. 3, 33′

"With Weinberg, each piece is just greater than the next" says Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla, and her award-winning, critically-acclaimed exploration of this great 20th Century composer (and friend of Shostakovich) has been one of the supreme achievements of her time in Birmingham. Two gripping symphonies frame Shostakovich's powerful Second Cello Concert - and a welcome return for another great friend of the CBSO, Sheku Kanneh-Mason.
