While the live performance with CBSO this October was cancelled, UMS is delighted
to bring their Centenary Concert to audiences online. When CBSO gave its first
concert in 1920, it was a gamble: a city recovering from war and pandemic had put
its faith in the power of music to enrich the lives of all its citizens. The concert
features specially-filmed live performances, interviews with conductors past and
present, and music by Elgar, Schumann, Saint-Saëns, Hannah Kendall, and A.R.
Rahman, closing with Stravinsky's Firebird Suite.
