Sir Simon Rattle & the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra

Tues 11 Nov View Venues, Dates & Times

Sir Simon Rattle makes a much-heralded and very welcome return to the second city, 27 years after he brought to a close his 18-year tenure as music director of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. 
Since bidding a fond farewell to Brum, the 70-year-old conductor has brought his immense talent to bear on the output of the Berlin Philharmonic, London Symphony Orchestra, and now (since 2023), the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, a world-leading ensemble which last visited Birmingham some 20 years ago. 
The programme for this mouthwatering concert features Schumann’s second symphony and the complete ballet score of Stravinsky’s The Firebird. The latter was the composition which Sir Simon chose for the first concert in Symphony Hall way back in 1991.
