Beethoven's 'pastoral symphony': Saint François d'Assise (+1 More)

Fresh. Chirpy. Invigorating.
‘I have always admired St Francis…he spoke to the birds, and I’m an ornithologist.’ For the dazzling, colourful score to his gargantuan opera based on the life of the saint, bird-lover Olivier Messiaen interweaves orchestral twitterings and chirpings into a tapestry of sound as glorious as the dawn chorus. Here’s a very rare chance to experience part of this extraordinary work with the BBC SSO’s Chief Conductor, Ryan Wigglesworth, at the helm.

And is that a cuckoo we hear? Beethoven wasn’t above introducing the sounds of nature into his music, most famously in his popular Sixth Symphony. This ode to the natural world has a bracing, invigorating energy that’s bound to fill you with the joys of spring.

**Due to logistics of staging Messiaen’s 'The Sermon to the Birds', the balcony is currently off-sale for this performance. Extra seating may become available at a later date.

This concerts ends at approximately 9:30pm.
