CBSO The Perfect Fifth

Wed 9 Sep 7:30pm at Symphony Hall

CBSO

Andris Nelsons launches the season in grand style! Beginning with the majestic prelude to Wagner’s sunniest opera, and finishing with the most famous symphony ever written, this is a concert to set pulses racing – and if you only know the first four notes of Beethoven’s perfect Fifth Symphony, trust us, you’re in for a wonderful surprise!

Brahms’ dreamy Second Piano Concerto will be an oasis of calm at the evening’s heart – though with the superb young Russian virtuoso Arcadi Volodos at the keyboard, there’ll be no shortage of thrills either.

6.15pm. Free pre-concert talk: Welcome to the Season.
Andris Nelsons introduces the new season, with CBSO Chief Executive Stephen Maddock.

This CBSO concert is sponsored by Mitchells & Butlers.
