Cbso 2026/27 New World Symphony

Be moved, be surprised, and be uplifted by this programme of musical journeys.

Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla returns to conduct compatriot Šerkšnytė’s meditative Midsummer Song.

This hymn to the summer solstice is a promise of ‘eternal light and ... inner peace of mind.’ Shostakovich’s second Cello Concerto portrays an interior world; thoughtful and sometimes anguished. (Yet it can still surprise: the middle movement is based on a song about a pretzel), Cellist Maximilian Hornung brings his characteristic emotional intelligence to this intensely-felt work.

Dvořák’s most famous Symphony rounds off the programme: a joyful exploration of melody, and a riveting dialogue between ‘old’ and ‘new’ worlds.Details of how to register and use our Access Scheme can be found here.
