Celebrating Sibelius: III

We conclude our epic Sibelius cycle with a centenary performance of the
Third Symphony, premiered a hundred years ago this week in Helsinki. This is a more compact and classical work than the gloriously romantic Second Symphony, which has remained one of the composer’s most frequently played works. Between the two symphonies Anu Komsi joins her husband for two of the composer’s remarkable orchestral songs, including Luonnotar, first performed at Gloucester in 1913, which tells of the mythical creation of the earth and the sky. The evocative tone-poem The Oceanides is also a nature-portrait, this time of the awesome power of the sea. Be sure to join the CBSO for this unforgettable journey through some great, great music.

£39, £36.50, £31.50, £27.50, £23, £20, £16.50, £13, £9.50
