Mahler’s Resurrection

Andris Nelsons is the latest CBSO music director to bring us his interpretation of Mahler’s huge, all-embracing Resurrection symphony, long a CBSO speciality. Featuring a gigantic orchestra – on and offstage – as well as vocalists and chorus, this is one of the biggest statements in late-romantic art. Mahler’s emotional intensity, his echoing trumpet calls and his way of dividing the orchestra into different groups all find a contemporary echo in a recent work by leading German
composer Jörg Widmann.

6.15pm Pre-concert talk – Premiere! – Jorg Widmann
Eminent German composer Jörg Widmann talks to Stephen Maddock about his Antiphon – which receives its UK premiere tonight.

£9.50, £13.50, £17, £20.50, £23.50, £28, £32, £37, £39.50
