performances including five premieres (watch out for the world premiere of Héloïse

Following Kirill Karabits’s departure, the orchestra welcomes Mark Wigglesworth as
Chief Conductor and Chloé van Soeterstède as Principal Guest Conductor. Holst

his Cotswolds Symphony, Invocation and excerpts from The Planets, while January
sees the marvellously titled Viennese Whirls concert, in which The Blue Danube is

paired with Berg’s Violin Concerto (soloist Alena Baeva).
