| CBSO Chorus |
A burst of joy: Dvořák's Carnival Overture is one of those pieces that makes the whole orchestra seem to tingle. Kazuki Yamada launches a concert filled with celebration – from the poetry of Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto, played by our good friend Nicola Benedetti, to the heartfelt melodies of the New World symphony. And the CBSO Chorus shares a moment of reflection from Ukraine, at the very start of our new Season.
