_“Outstanding”_ (The Guardian), _“pure magic”_ (Daily Telegraph) and _“a heaven-storming performance”_ (The Strad) - the Elias Quartet seem unable to put a foot wrong with the critics. Rising star and passionate Mozartean, Jonathan Biss, joins them for Mozart’s Second Piano Quartet. There is also Britten’s Purcell-inspired Second Quartet and one of Brahms’ mightiest chamber works, the powerful and expressive Piano Quintet.

Sun 23 May 7:00pm Symphony Hall

An unmissable opportunity for anyone who loves singing to spend a day with the CBSO, its world-renowned chorus director, Simon Halsey, and young professional soloists, in the magnificent Surroundings of Symphony Hall. This annual singalong attracts over 1000 singers, so join in this year and raise the roof with Brahms’ intensely moving German Requiem. *Information for singers: rehearsals start at 1.30pm; further details will be sent with singer tickets. Scores: we will be using the Peters edition (Bärenreiter scores are compatible) of Brahms’ Requiem and it will be sung in German. To hire a score with Simon Halsey’s rehearsal markings, please purchase the all-inclusive Singer & Score Hire ticket when booking. Please note, if you are not bringing your own score, pre-booking of score hire via this ticket is essential. Pre-booked scores can then be collected on arrival from 12.30pm on the day by showing your score ticket. Visit the "CBSO website":http://www.cbso.co.uk
