*The Panufnik piece, featuring the CBSO Youth Chorus and Children's Chorus, will only be performed at Saturday's concert.
We played it when Symphony Hall opened, and when Sir Simon Rattle said farewell; our recording has won international awards and our Chorus has sung it around the world. But in the CBSO family, it's always a special occasion when we perform Mahler's mighty "Resurrection" Symphony. It's a masterpiece that we love, and have made our own. Bring a handkerchief - or two.
