It makes you want to listen to classical music: the highly charismatic artists and orchestras of the entry-level subscription, who regularly knock audiences’ socks off with their unique aura. Conductor Teodor Currentzis kicks off the subscription with his orchestra Utopia, founded in 2022 and with Europe’s best orchestral musicians as its members, and Gustav Mahler’s popular Fifth Symphony. Pianist Kit Armstrong, who is bursting with wit, puts together a hand-picked orchestra of musician friends to create a varied Mozart evening. The Aurora Orchestra, which plays with youthful ease and enjoys performing from memory, is joined on stage by the energetic South African cellist Abel Selaocoe. And to end the season, the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, which specialises in period performance, whisks through the Romantic period with pianist Sir András Schiff.
