Chief Conductor, Mark Wigglesworth, spearheads our season beginning with one of the symphonic masterpieces of the 20th century, Shostakovich’s profound Tenth Symphony. We are
delighted to be performing works by Dani Howard, including the UK premiere of her Saxophone Concerto with Jess Gillam. Mark closes the season with a concert which pairs Copland’s innocent Appalachian Spring with Tippett’s politically charged oratorio, A Child of Our Time.
Principal Guest Conductor Chloé Van Soeterstède conducts Korngold’s Violin Concerto with Ning Feng, and Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto with Cédric Tiberghien, alongside Saint-Saëns’ mighty
Organ Symphony, and we welcome back Kirill Karabits for an evening of Shostakovich at his most witty and rebellious. We are delighted to welcome British baritone Roderick Williams as this
season’s Artist-in-Residence. One of the finest artists of his generation, he will be singing the beautiful poetry to Zemlinsky’s Lyric Symphony, a work that he has long wanted to perform, and brings a recital of English songs that he has chosen as a homage to Schubert’s original song cycle.
Other sure-to-be highlights include Mahler Five with Karl-Heinz Steffens, and Thierry Fischer conducting Tchaikovsky’s Manfred Symphony, plus performances by returning friends of the BSO – Sir Stephen Hough, Marta Gardolińska, Alim Beisembayev, Elisabeth Brauß, Boris Giltburg, Paul Lewis and Sunwook Kim.
