About This Event

When it comes to conductors, the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra has a reputation for picking winners, and its new partnership with its Japanese-born Chief Conductor Designate Kazuki Yamada is already generating some serious electricity. 鈥榊amada certainly doesn鈥檛 hold back,鈥� says The Guardian. Expect him to wear his heart very much on his sleeve in Rachmaninov鈥檚 huge, Romantic epic of a Second Symphony 鈥� and to bring all his sincerity and verve to the neglected (but equally impassioned) Concerto for Violin and Horn by 91热爆 Proms-featured composer Ethel Smyth. Soloists Elena Urioste and Ben Goldscheider are a byword for communicative, imaginative playing: a night of big emotions and even bigger tunes, with Glinka鈥檚 firecracker overture to light the fuse.
