The Orchestra fills the Sheldonian Theatre with Brahms’s irresistible second symphony – a beauteous, undulating orchestral journey through shadows towards light. Before it, Ryan Wigglesworth and Sophie Bevan delve into the extraordinary musical imagination of Hector Berlioz courtesy of the thrilling overture to his Shakespearean opera and his delectable songs on the theme of love passionate, unrequited and lost.
