This season sees the start of Chief Conductor, Mark Wigglesworth’s symphonic journey through the symphonies of Beethoven with the BSO to mark the 250th anniversary of his death. Road to Joy will see all nine symphonies performed chronologically over this season and next, accompanied by additional sessions that explore Beethoven in more depth featuring a host of special guests. This is one journey not to be missed!
Our Artist-in-Residence this season is the phenomenal pianist, Boris Giltburg. You have already witnessed the extraordinary chemistry between him and Mark, so I know the concerts featuring the concertos of Schumann and Rachmaninov will be something special. Our Celebrated Composer is one of the most highly respected figures of our time, Thomas Adès. His works will be included in concerts across the season, and we will welcome him in person to conduct a concert which celebrates the music of his hero Sibelius.
As always, highlights are just too many to list, so I invite you to browse through our wonderful selection and leave you to choose your favourites, whether it be the musical distillation of Wagner’s entire Ring Cycle in our opening concert, Elgar’s towering choral extravaganza which closes the season, or anything in-between.
