CBSO Youth Orchestra

Tonight Michael Seal unleashes the orchestra’s youthful energy on Carl Nielsen’s explosive Fourth Symphony. A torrential celebration of the unstoppable power of the life-force, it’s no wonder it’s dubbed The Inextinguishable! It should be a thrilling work-out for our superb young players. Seal also steers them through two more 20th-century showpieces – Rachmaninov’s much-loved Rhapsody, and the all-American high-jinks of Leonard Bernstein’s uproarious Divertimento.
“A feisty performance from these excellent young players.” The Sunday Times, October 2006

Please note Sakari Oramo has unfortunately had to withdraw from the concert due to illness. Michael Seal has kindly agreed to step in at short notice and will conduct the whole concert.
