Youth Orchestra: Mahler 5

Photograph of a French Horn player in the CBSO Youth Orchestra.

The brightest musical talents in the Midlands play epic Mahler.

A song of love, struggle and delirious joy… there’s a lifetime of emotion in Mahler’s tremendous Fifth Symphony. The superb young musicians of the CBSO Youth Orchestra never hold back, and today they’ll go straight to its deeply romantic heart. First, though, a shot of neat inspiration as BBC Young Musician 2022 winner Jordan Ashman conjures sounds from beyond the imagination in Robert Honstein’s extraordinary percussion concerto.
