Join us at the home of the CBSO for an informal afternoon performance, programmed and introduced by CBSO musicians. These concerts give audiences the chance to get closer to the music and experience the artistry of our orchestra members in an intimate setting.

This concert showcases the CBSO's wind section, tying in with Carlo Rizzi's programme in Puccini in Rome at Symphony Hall on Wednesday 15 April. Experience all the drama of opera like you've never heard it before in this powerful performance.

Centre Stage concerts are generously supported by John Osborn CBE.

FEEL-GOOD

'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.
