Next concert
Our spring 2019 series The Grand Tour starts on 9n February at the Pittville Pump Room. Join the CSO for three works that span the whole gamut of German Romanticism. Mozart’s Jupiter, his last and greatest symphony; the greatest musical expression of romantic love and passion in the Prelude and Liebestod from Wagner’s Tristan and Isolde; and the haunting beauty of Richard Strauss’ Four Last Songs, here sung by the American soprano, April Fredrick.
