Highlights include the world premiere of Thomas Adès’s
The Exterminating Angel Symphony, a performance with violinist Alina Ibragimova of Prokofiev’s First Violin Concerto, and the UK premiere of Julian Anderson’s

’We are so thrilled to be able to welcome audiences back to our home at Symphony Hall and to be able to share the joy of live orchestral music with them once more,’ said CBSO chief executive Stephen Maddock. ’Today we’re announcing our programme for eight weekly pairs of concerts from May onwards and we feel sure that the people of Birmingham and the Midlands will want to rush back to enjoy the glorious sound of full-scale orchestral music after more than a year in which we have all been denied this opportunity.’
