Ivor invites you: the new format for friends, patrons and the merely curious. Ivor Bolton and the SOB present their singers and soloists, providing insights into their current CD productions. The first event will introduce two rising singing stars: multiple award-winning Russian soprano Olga Peretyatko, and Barbara Hannigan’s outstanding pupil Sophia Burgos. We also look forward to welcoming Swiss pianist Oliver Schnyder. Under Ivor Bolton’s baton the SOB – for the first time in Basel – will perform Ludwig van Beethoven’s Eroica symphony with historic brass instruments and timpani.
