Thursday 21st January 2010, 7.30pm
City Halls : Grand Hall
Please Note: This is a past event event.
Don't worry we have plenty more current events to choose from.
“The work of a giant” is how Hugo Wolf described Bruckner’s Eighth Symphony, and the symphony itself is a giant, with its full panoply of horns and Wagner tubas. Perhaps Bruckner’s greatest work, it is a huge challenge to any orchestra and conductor – but BBC SSO Chief Conductor Donald Runnicles has a distinguished track record as a Bruckner interpreter, and this performance is certain to be one of the major events of the season.
6.45pm Pre-Concert Prelude (in the Recital Room): Stephen Johnson, author of Bruckner Remembered, explores the composer’s mighty Eighth Symphony.
Please note there will be no coda after this concert.
