CBSO Friday Night Classic...
More Info Book TicketsFri 29 Oct 7:30pm Symphony Hall
Whether you love or hate the Halloween silly-season, some great music has been written for horror films. Escape the trick-or-treaters, and let the CBSO scare you silly with music from _Frankenstein_, _Psycho_, _The Omen_ and lots more terrifying favourites. There may not be any nightmare nasties to be seen in Symphony Hall, but with music this creepy and the dramatic sound effects that a full symphony orchestra can throw at you, your imagination will do the rest. We’re sure you’ll have a great evening, but it might leave you wanting to sleep with the lights on... 6.15pm Pre-concert talk. Film music fanatic Tommy Pearson talks to conductor Michael Seal.
*Michael Seal* _conductor_ *Tommy Pearson* _presenter_ *CBSO Chorus*
Featuring music from: _Psycho_, _Poltergeist_, _Frankenstein_, _The Witches of Eastwick_, _Hannibal_, _The Omen_, _Bride of Frankenstein_, _Halloween H2O_, _Edward Scissorhands_, _Jurassic Park_, _The Devil Rides Out_

CBSO Family Concert: To I...
More Info Book TicketsSun 7 Nov 3:00pm Symphony Hall
Take a journey into outer space as the CBSO flies you to the moon and beyond, and look back on our world in the company of some favourite composers. There’ll be plenty of exciting adventures on the way, with music from _Star Wars_ and _2001: A Space Odyssey_ as well as familiar songs including _Fly Me to the Moon_ and _Come Fly with Me_. Look out of the windows of the Symphony Hall spaceship, and you’ll see the planets of our solar system in orchestral technicolour with music from Holst’s Planets suite. So, sit tight as the countdown begins and a whole orchestra goes into orbit! FREE craft workshops and music, including a pre-concert performance by the CBSO Boys’ Choir, in the foyers from 1.30pm. Why not come dressed up in a space-themed costume?

CBSO Years 5 & 6 Scho...
More InfoWed 23 Mar 2011 11:30am Symphony Hall
Who’d have thought that composers would be inspired to write music about cheeky boys and the scrapes they get into? Based on a German folk story, Richard Strauss’s action-packed tone poem _Till Eulenspiegel’s Merry Pranks_ tells the story of the many mischievous antics of Till, until his actions catch up with him and he meets a rather unfortunate end. Hear how Strauss uses the instruments of the orchestra to paint vivid pictures of our naughty hero, the people he encounters on his travels and everything that happens along the way - from upending market stalls to chasing girls! If you’re very good, you’ll also find out about bad boy Tam O’Shanter and the trouble he got into with some witches, depicted in music by Malcolm Arnold. This performance is specially devised for Key Stage 2 (Years 5 & 6). There is also a 1.30pm performance for Key Stages 3 & 4 (Years 7-11) - click "here":http://www.thsh.co.uk/view/cbso-schools-concerts-merry-pranks-2 for details.

CBSO Family Concert: Litt...
More Info Book TicketsSun 15 May 2011 3:00pm Symphony Hall
Are you sitting comfortably? Then we'll begin. Let the CBSO and master story-teller Matthew Sharp take you to the forest and into a magical world of fairy-tale and adventure. Follow our intrepid hero through the enchanting world of Grieg's _Peer Gynt_, as he journeys from the stillness of _Morning_ to the sinister drama of _In the Hall of the Mountain King_ - and watch out for those galumphing trolls! Then tip-toe onwards to meet Little Red Riding Hood, her wacky grandmother and the wildest wolf you've ever seen. Roald Dahl's wonderful words and Paul Patterson's colourful music will cast the spell. But beware - in the forest, appearances can be deceptive and you never know who might be hiding behind the next tree! FREE craft workshops and music, including a pre-concert performance by the CBSO Boys’ Choir, in the foyers from 1.30pm. Why not come dressed up as your favourite animal or fairy-tale character?
