CBSO’s new Mish-Mash

The orchestra’s 2024-25 season, unfurled yesterday, involves the following initiatives:

The CBSO has appointed two creative associates; Professor Nate Holder and production company MishMash. Associates will hold the role for a year-long tenure with the aim of encouraging new thinking around the CBSO’s work to attract young audiences and support the orchestra’s ambition of further developing an anti-racist approach to work.

CBSO chief executive Emma Stenning said: ‘I’m so proud of this season. It speaks to the future of this remarkable orchestra, puts the brilliant Kazuki Yamada at the heart of our music making, and solidifies our commitment to being an ensemble that truly explores both the creative potential of our glorious city, and the opportunity of creating work in new ways, that will speak to more people.’
