Delyana Lazarova conductor

Mahler believed that “The symphony must be like the world; it must embrace everything!” – and his first, the aptly-named ‘Titan’, does just that. Under the baton of Hallé Assistant Conductor Delyana Lazarova the flagship Cambridge University Orchestra leads us on this epic symphonic journey, from the opening cuckoo-like evocation of nature to an Alpine folk-dance, a minor-key reimagining of ‘Frère Jacques’ and a conclusion so thrilling that the members of the horn section rise to their feet. The concert begins with Britten’s virtuosic Piano Concerto, performed by brilliant pianist and this year’s Cambridge University Concerto Competition winner Mark Zang.
Cost: £22, £16, £12 | Concessions: £20, £14.50, £11 | Students and under-18s: £5
