Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra is the resident orchestra at Colston Hall, performing a series of concerts here every year. Since its foundation in 1893, the ensemble has worked with such historic figures as Bartok, Sibelius, Holst, Stravinsky, and Vaughan-Williams among many others. The orchestra gives over 150 performances each year, collaborating with world-class conductors and soloists keeping them at the forefront of the UK orchestral music scene.
They are teaming up with Kirill Karabits, winner of the Conductor prize at the 2013 Royal Philharmonic Society Awards. Kirill Karabits is one of the most dynamic and exciting conductors in the world today. Having studied at the National Tchaikovsky Music Academy in Kiev he is now principal conductor of Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra.
What with Tchaikovsky’s quasi-concerto homage to Rococo gracefulness, and Mendelssohn’s tercentenary tribute to a landmark moment in the German Protestant Reformation, the BSO has an eye on the past. But it spools ‘back to the future’ too. Shot through with foreboding, unsettled and unsettling, Schubert’s Unfinished opens the door on a new world that paves the way to Bruckner and beyond.
