CBSO: Double Nutcracker

From Thurs 10 Dec View Venues, Dates & Times

If you go nuts for The Nutcracker at this time of year, then grab yourself a ticket for one of these two sure-to-be-memorable evenings in the company of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. 

The CBSO’s acclaimed music director, Kazuki Yamada (pictured), takes to the podium to direct proceedings, as the orchestra perform a festive selection from the beloved Tchaikovsky ballet, presented alongside Duke Ellington’s very individual take on the piece. Leonard Bernstein’s Prelude, Fugue And Riffs also features. 

The CBSO’s Oliver Janes takes the solo clarinet part, which was originally written for jazz supremo Benny Goodman.
