BBC Proms 2021: Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla conducts the CBSO

Synopsis

The works that the CBSO commissioned to celebrate its centenary last year are finally getting performed. Thomas Adès’s The Exterminating Angel Symphony, based on material from his 2016 opera, was one of them; its London premiere is framed here by two more symphonies, Ruth Gipps’s Second and Brahms’s Third. The City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and Music Director Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla champion the music of a too-long neglected composer. PROGRAM: Gipps: Symphony No. 2; Adès: The Exterminating Angel Symphony; Brahms: Symphony No. 3
