The mind boggles in terms of the finer details of this City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra ‘sports day’ event... ...Will the family-friendly get-together see audience members engaging in egg-and-spoon racing? Might hopping around Symphony Hall in sacks be the order of the day? 

Who can say? But what we definitely do know is that it’s going to be an interactive experience - and one in which ‘everybody is able to join in the fun’.

The CBSO has selected a programme of music which they’re confident will be as bold, fast, and full of energy as the ultimate race day. Indeed, ‘from the unstoppable drive of Beethoven and Shostakovich, to the playful rhythms of Valerie Coleman and the sweeping melodies of Brahms, every piece is packed with excitement’.

Jack Lovell-Huckle (pictured) conducts.
