Feel-Good & Moving
'Mood markers' have been carefully assigned to each concert by CBSO Music Director Kazuki Yamada, visiting soloists and conductors, orchestra members and audiences.
If you’re new to this music or wanting to introduce it to a friend or family member, we hope that these badges help both signpost you towards the concerts that are perfect for you and encourage you to try something that you might not otherwise have considered.
So, whatever you’re in the mood for this season – you’re invited to discover your perfect music mix with us.
