Bristol Concert Orchestra concert: Beethoven and Mahler

Published: 4th December 2014 17:11

Bristol Concert Orchestra (conductor Stefan Hofkes) welcomes exciting young violinist Eloisa-Fleur Thom to play Beethoven's lyrical Romances for violin and orchestra. 

The main work of the concert - Mahler's ninth symphony - was described by Leonard Bernstein as "the ultimate farewell" - to passion and human love; to country life and urban society; and to life itself. Yet this extraordinary and immense work remains a defiant affirmation of life.

"It is music coming from another world, it is coming from eternity" - Herbert von Karajan.

There will be a retiring collection in aid of the Great Western Air Ambulance.

Tickets £15, £13, £10, £8 (concessions £2 discount), children £1 [+fee] are available from St George's Bristol in person, by phone: 0845 40 24 001 or online
