Summary
Kazuki Yamada leads the CBSO and Chorus at the Bullring in a programme of high-energy works including excerpts from Carmina Burana, Rodeo, and the William Tell Overture.
Why it's fantastic
Swap the concert hall for the shopping centre to hear the city’s finest musicians play music everyone knows. This forty-minute set ranges from the epic Star Wars choral themes to the galloping rhythm of the William Tell Overture, making it a perfect low-pressure introduction to the power of a full orchestra.
