Wed 22 Sep 7:30pm Symphony Hall

In Soviet Russia, listening to Shostakovich’s Eighth Symphony could have got you arrested. Huge in scale, and overwhelmingly powerful, this epic symphonic portrayal of a nation broken by war and tyranny is the ultimate proof that some music speaks louder than any words. No wonder they banned it! Today, we can listen without fear - but Shostakovich’s Eighth Symphony remains one of those masterpieces that everyone needs to experience for themselves. No-one conducts Russian music with more emotion - or power - than Andris Nelsons. In the hands of German virtuoso Christian Tetzlaff, Brahms’s serene concerto should be the lyrical calm before Shostakovich’s devastating storm. 6.15pm Pre-concert talk. CBSO Music Director Andris Nelsons talks to Director of Orchestral Management Simon Webb.

Thu 23 Sep Symphony Hall

'…The overall impact is shattering. A great occasion, no question.' The Guardian 'It could well be a very long time before something this great comes our way again.' Los Angeles Times 'One of the greatest experiences of my artistic life' Esa-Pekka Salonen This performance is, quite simply, an unmissable event that is one of the highlights of the UK cultural calendar: a partnership of three of the greatest artists of the present time - conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen, artistic collaborator Peter Sellars and film artist Bill Viola. Set against the stunning backdrop of Viola’s film projections, this UK premiere promises to bring a new intensity to Wagner’s hymn to love and death. Classic FM’s Anne-Marie Minhall, says of tonight’s recommended concert: “Wagner’s tale of forbidden love was inspired by Arthurian legend. The composer himself said that the story is ’one of endless yearning, longing, the bliss and wretchedness of love...one sole redemption - death, finality, a sleep without awakening.’” "Click here to view a lecture by Bill Viola on _Tristan und Isolde_.":http://channel.tate.org.uk/media/26708479001 Concert performance with visual projections. Sung in German with English surtitles.

Fri 24 Sep 8:00pm Symphony Hall

Since the turn of the century Jimmy has been a ‘fun slinger’ of international repute. _Laughter Therapy_ is his ninth solo show. It’ll be an evening of non-stop jokes, gags and banter. If you’ve got a sick sense of humour then maybe laughter is the best medicine. Not to be taken if you have a sensitive disposition or an overactive moral compass. Recommended dose: one brand new show to be taken annually (I said annually).
