Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra: Classic FM Hall of Fame

The definitive favourites for your entertainment! Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra (BSO) returns to the Cornwall Playhouse with a vibrant new concert celebrating six of the classical greats.

Rossini‘s bright and sunny overture preludes one of the most popular of all concertos, filled with sun-drenched melodies and the balmy atmosphere of southern Spain. Its achingly beautiful slow movement stands as perhaps one of the most sublime pieces ever written. The Spanish passion continues with Chabrier‘s dazzling rhapsody, Rodrigo‘s Concierto de Aranjuez, and Rimsky-Korsakov‘s vibrant and colourful suite.

In contrast, Borodin‘s tone poem evokes the sweeping plains of central Asia, while Mussorgsky‘s dark and brooding piece brings nightmarish visions of a Witches Sabbath to Truro.
