Cbso 2026/27 Kazuki Conducts Strauss, Wagner & Clyne

A concert to melt the heart, and raise the spirits.

Wagner’s presentation of the Siegfried Idyll to his wife Cosima is like something out of a romcom.

He composed this sumptuously romantic work in secret, then rehearsed fifteen musicians for a private performance on Christmas Day - surprising and delighting Cosima on waking that morning.

The hero of Strauss’ Ein Heldenleben is...

Strauss himself.

While something of an ego-trip, it is also a rich, sometimes witty and occasionally heartfelt work, including love-music to his wife, and snarky digs at music critics.

Anna Clyne, one of the most inventive and gifted composers working today, presents a world premiere of a new viola concerto, written for the outstanding talents of Lawrence Power.Details of how to register and use our Access Scheme can be found here.
