The BSO Concert Season 2022/23 features an exciting selection of wonderful music, performed by a host of internationally acclaimed artists. Kirill will be celebrating the culture of his homeland, with performances by Ukrainian composers, Reinhold Glière, Feodor Akimenko (the world premiere of his long-forgotten Cello Concerto a hundred years after it was written) and also a new commission by Anna Korsun. He also conducts a rare performance of Sergei Taneyev’s sublime choral cantata St John of Damascus, symphonies by Elgar, Mahler, Scriabin and Shostakovich, and closes the season with Ravel’s tumultuous La Valse.
We welcome the return of Mark Wigglesworth who conducts Mahler’s beautiful song cycle with Dame Sarah Connolly, Sunwook Kim, James Ehnes and Alexander Malofeev amongst others, and see the debut appearances of some rare artistic talent, including Pavel Šporcl and Marie-Ange Nguci to name but a few. Felix Klieser will also be back with both a concert with Kirill and a special chamber recital.
Recorded pre-concert talks giving a valuable insight into the music being performed, are FREE and available to watch before each concert.
