CBSO Sounds New

CBSO have asked 20 of the most exciting new voices to each write an entirely new piece of music just for them (and you). This can be on any theme or in any style they like, it just can’t be more than 4 minutes long. Commissioned as part of their centenary celebrations, CBSO are excited to introduce these brand-new pieces to the world - so come along and try something new, you might just be among the first to hear a modern masterpiece.

This concert is supported by The John Feeney Charitable Trust
