Canterbury Symphony Orchestra: The Magic of Youth

Mahler’s First Symphony is an extraordinary musical journey, full of colour, drama, tenderness and exhilarating orchestral sound. The Canterbury Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Joe Davies, brings this magnificent work to life in a concert that also celebrates the exceptional young musical talent of the region. The concert features two Canterbury Festival Young Musician winners as soloists: double bassist Mimi Hobbs playing Koussevitzky’s richly expressive Double Bass Concerto, and violist Kit Ross joining for a second concerto performance. The programme includes Mahler’s Symphony No. 1, Titan, Koussevitzky’s Double Bass Concerto, and Walton’s Viola Concerto. The event promises an evening of soaring melodies, extraordinary young talent, and the unforgettable power of a full symphony orchestra.
