University of Birmingham Choir & Orchestra
Sat 6 Dec Town Hall
The power of music to move human passion is the subject of this ode in praise of Cecilia, music's patron saint. Handel's setting of Dryden's words, which refer to Alexander the Great, explores the whole gamut of emotion in truly thrilling style.

IgorFest: Orpheus
Thu 30 Apr 2009 Symphony Hall
We enter the final leg of our ground-breaking four-year Stravinsky cycle with a programme featuring two largescale orchestral works: the 1947 ballet Orpheus and the energetic, neo-classical Symphony in C. These frame a pair of religious works: what he called his ‘pocket requiem’, Requiem Canticles, and his exuberant arrangement of the music of J. S. Bach in Vom Himmel Hoch. Two of his many tributes to great contemporaries - in this case the writers T. S. Eliot and Aldous Huxley complete the programme. 6.15pm- Pre Concert Talk- The three final instalments of the CBSO’s epic journey through the complete works of Stravinsky - introduced by BBC Radio 3’s Anthony Burton

Bach - A Beautiful Mind
Fri 29 May 2009 - Sun 31 May 2009 Symphony Hall
Bach is the most universal of all composers. In its perfect balance of humanity, spirituality and god like-invention, his music speaks to all like no other. To many he is the greatest of all composers and his music has the ability to fit into the everyday rhythm of our lives but also to transcend it. To close the concert season, Town Hall and Symphony Hall will reverberate to a weekend of Bach masterpieces in performance, by some of today's leading performers.
