When the mighty Symphony Organ joins forces with the full CBSO, you're pretty much guaranteed to get a shiver down the spine. So it's no surprise that the Organ Symphony is one of the most popular of all romantic symphonies - it's simply thrilling! There are thrills aplenty in the rest of this concert, too - whether in Elgar's stirring overture, or the pure, irresistibly tuneful fun of Mozart's most famous horn concerto. Join Birmingham's premier musicians for this evening raising funds for the CBSO Benevolent Fund.
