The SOI Spring 2026 Season showcases a series of richly curated concerts led by distinguished conductors Martyn Brabbins and Carlo Rizzi. From evocative orchestral tone poems and iconic symphonies to operatic overtures and deeply expressive vocal works, the programmes span a wide emotional and stylistic range.
This season inaugurates the SOI’s Beethoven Symphony Cycle with Symphony No. 1 And No. 5. Highlights include Mussorgsky’s Prelude to Khovanshchina, Holst’s celestial The Planets, Mahler’s poignant Songs of a Wayfarer with mezzo-soprano Dame Sarah Connolly, and Shostakovich’s intense Symphony No. 10.
Internationally acclaimed Italian tenor Davide Giusti brings his artistry and elegance to the stage with a selection of lyrical songs by Tosti, illuminating the beauty and intimacy of the Italian vocal tradition. Under Carlo Rizzi’s baton the orchestra also explores masterworks by Dvo?ák, Sibelius, Rossini, Puccini, and Wagner, concluding with Beethoven’s triumphant Fifth Symphony. Together, these concerts offer a powerful journey through some of the most beloved and impactful works in the orchestral repertoire.
