The venue is large enough that the orchestra will all be able to attend with social
distancing measures in place. There will be no audience present for the concert, but
it will be broadcast online on the CBSO’s Facebook and YouTube channels at 7pm
on Saturday 5 September. It will then be available to stream free of charge for the
rest of the month.
The performance takes place exactly 100 years to the day since the CBSO’s first
concert.
The programme includes Robert Schumann‘s Genoveva
Overture and Elgar‘s Serenade for Strings, both of which were performed in the
orchestra’s first concert 100 years ago, as well as Saint-Saëns‘s Cello Concerto No.
1 and Stravinsky‘s Suite from The Firebird. Also on the programme are works by
contemporary composers including Hannah Kendall’s The Spark Catchers and AR
Rahman’s Slumdog Millionaire Suite.
