Information about the programme

After the BRSO was invited to perform in Bamberg last October, the Bamberg Symphony has now accepted our invitation to perform a concert. Chief Conductor Jakub Hrůša, a highly popular and regular guest conductor with the BRSO, will lead the Bamberg Symphony in an unusual program, about which he remarks: “I love surprises and breaking with conventions, as long as they are done in a subtle way.” The program includes Shostakovich’s rarely performed Eleventh Symphony that serves as a cautionary and thought-provoking response to the “eternal question of existence” already posed in Charles Ives’ The Unanswered Question. In addition, the exceptional Korean violinist Bomsori Kim, winner of the 2013 ARD Music Competition, will appear for the first time in a BRSO concert series and perform Korngold’s Violin Concerto.
