Janáček's Glagolitic Mass CBSO with Edward Gardner

CSBO

"The fragrance of the trees was like incense," declared Leoš Janáček. "I felt a cathedral grow from a great forest." And with its jubilant trumpets, thundering organ and raw, unbuttoned lust for life, there's nothing quite like the Glagolitic Mass. The CBSO Chorus loves to sing it, and Edward Gardner gets the pulse racing straight away, with three barnstorming showpieces by Hector Berlioz. Hold tight! This concert has been made possible with support from an anonymous donor through the Keynote Programming Fund.

Wanger's Parsifal CBSO with Andris Nelsons

Wagner's Parsifal tells of the knights of the Holy Grail: a story of truth, suffering and redemption, set to music so beautiful that it pierces straight to your very soul. Andris Nelsons has been hailed around the world as one of the finest Wagner conductors of our time: this concert performance of Wagner's final opera should be transcendent.

Ešenvald's Commision & Mahler's Symphony No. 3 CBSO with Andris Nelsons

CSBO

All good things come to an end. And on what are sure to be emotional evenings, Andris Nelsons has chosen to say farewell to Birmingham with Mahler's huge, rapturous hymn to nature - both unchanging, and forever renewing. A beautiful new choral work by Andris's fellow-Latvian Eriks Ešenvalds - jointly commissioned (thanks to support from the Feeney Trust) with Andris's new orchestra in Boston - brings our orchestra, choruses, audience and conductor together to celebrate seven inspirational years.
