Cbso 2026/27 Sibelius' 5th Symphony

‘What beauty!’ declared Jean Sibelius, as a flight of swans soared above his home in the Finnish forests.

That shining vision grew into his Fifth Symphony, heard here in its original 1915 version, and from opening sunrise to unforgettable finish, few living conductors understand it better than our guest Thomas Dausgaard.

First, though, pianist Benjamin Grosvenor - another great friend of the CBSO - hurls himself into Brahms’ tempestuous First Piano Concerto.Please note, the orchestra will be performing the original 1915 version of Sibelius' Fifth Symphony, not the more commonly performed 1919 version.Details of how to register and use our Access Scheme can be found here.
