The symphonies of Ludwig van Beethoven are the greatest journey any conductor and orchestra can take together. All of human experience is contained in these nine life-changing masterpieces. Here, Andris Nelsons and the CBSO begin that journey with the joyous First and Second Symphonies: the sound of a bold young genius stretching his wings, and ruffling a few feathers. Birmingham favourite Baiba Skride is the soloist in the glowing serenity of Beethoven’s ravishing Violin Concerto.
The 20 September concert is followed by a Members’ Afternoon Tea with Andris Nelsons as guest speaker. For further information contact Claire Watts on 0121 616 6514.
Wed 19, 6.15pm & Thu 20, 1pm Pre-concert talk: Beethoven and the Past – Writer, composer, and scholar Barry Cooper introduces the first concert in our Beethoven cycle.
