Approved

Chief Conductor John Storgårds sets the stage for our 2023-24 season with Janáček’s gargantuan Sinfonietta, brimming with brass and bold yet bridled melodies. Its galvanising energy plays foil to the emotional outpourings of Tchaikovsky’s swan song, his Sixth Symphony. Premiered only days before the composer’s death, the Symphony remains an enigma – its only truly agreeable mark, its sheer passion. Separating both of these titanic works, Dame Sarah Connolly joins us for an exploration of some of history’s less well-trodden territory in a collection of Alma Mahler’s orchestrated songs.
