Either side of and in between the live music, low-key DJ sets (at least until the half-hour
prior to closing) from ‘local tastemaker’ Pritt Kalsi did much to enhance the atmosphere
for what throughout was a lively and appreciative audience. What proportion can be
persuaded to make CBSO concerts at Symphony Hall a regular part of its fixture-list remains
to be seen, though feedback on the ground was encouraging. Whatever else, the future of
live events looks to be one in which listening across the spectrum of musical styles and
genres has become the norm.
Good news, therefore, that Symphonic Sessions is destined not to be a one-off experiment,
with the follow-up having been set for Thursday 2nd December. Whatever the line-up of
musicians and music, it would seem certain that ‘‘A splendid time is guaranteed for all’’.

featured music can be enjoyed through the Spotify albums below:
