CBSO The Birmingham Mahle...
More Info Book TicketsThu 16 Sep 7:30pm Symphony Hall
'Try to imagine the whole universe beginning to ring and resound. These are no longer human voices, but planets and suns revolving.' With its vast orchestra, and even huger chorus, Mahler’s mighty _Symphony of a Thousand_ lives up to its nickname. But it’s much more than just the most spectacular symphony ever written; it’s an exultant hymn to the joy of creation itself, and every performance is a special occasion. You’ll be thrilled, you’ll be moved - and you’ll be blown backwards, as Andris Nelsons, the CBSO, three great choruses and a star-studded team of soloists launch Birmingham’s centenary Mahler Cycle in truly epic style. 6.15pm Pre-concert talk with Norman Lebrecht, novelist, critic and author of _Why Mahler?_ Part of "The Birmingham Mahler Cycle":http://www.thsh.co.uk/the-birmingham-mahler-cycle
