    leader

    Mei-Ting Sun

    piano
    Holst - Jupiter from The Planets
    Dohnanyi - Variations on a Nursery Tune
    Nicholas Singer - New commission on a theme of LMO
    Prokofiev - Symphony No 7

    Join us at the beautiful Jerwood Hall, St Luke's, for this gala celebration of 70 years of music making and raising funds for medical charities.

    The dramatic programme evokes childhood by pairing Dohnanyi’s variations on Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star with Prokofiev’s final symphony which was commissioned by the Children’s Division of State Radio, and opens with Holst’s portrayal of an “abundance of life and vitality”: Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity from The Planets.

    We are delighted also to be commissioning presenting the world premiere of a new work by talented former member Nicholas Singer.  We look forward to seeing many former members and other friends, old and new.
