Rehearsals are underway for our second concert of the 2025/26 season at Cadogan Hall this Wednesday! 🎶
The orchestra is sounding fantastic rehearsing Berlioz’s exhilarating Symphonie Fantastique this evening at Guildhall School of Music and Drama! 🪇
There are still tickets available for Wednesday’s concert - get yours now and don’t miss out on a thrilling evening of music from our exceptional group of young musicians 🧙♀️
Our next concert is fast approaching and we are so excited to be collaborating with Georgian pianist Salome Jordania, our soloist for Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1 🌟
Salome performs extensively as a recitalist, chamber musician, and concerto soloist across Europe, the U.S., and beyond, in cities such as Berlin, Tokyo, Moscow, and New York. She has been featured in prestigious international festivals including the Texas International Piano Festival, the Batumi International Piano Festival, and the Yamaha Rising Stars Concerts in Tokyo, and received the Dominique Webber Scholarship at the Gijón International Piano Festival in Spain.
As a concerto soloist, Salome has collaborated with renowned orchestras, including the Georgian Philharmonic, the Moscow Chamber Orchestra, the Orquesta de Valencia, and the Armenian National Philharmonic.
Salome has earned over thirty international competition prizes, including the Norma Fischer Prize at the Wideman International Competition, First Prize at the Hartford Concerto Competition, Silver Medal at the International Keyboard Institute and Festival (IKIF) in New York and Bronze medal the José Iturbi International Piano Competition, where she won multiple special awards. Born into a musical family, she began piano studies at age seven in Tbilisi, Georgia, and gained early recognition with top prizes in national and international competitions.
Come and hear Salome perform with us on Wednesday 26th November, 7.30pm at Cadogan Hall
In the second concert of its 2025/26 season, the Young Musicians Symphony Orchestra presents a dynamic programme of music by Suppé, Tchaikovsky and Berlioz 🎶
The evening opens with Light Cavalry Overture, a lively and spirited introduction by master of the operetta, Franz von Suppé. Next, YMSO is joined by Georgian pianist Salome Jordania in Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1, a powerful work that balances the virtuosic demands of the soloist with the powerful presence of the orchestra 🎹
The second half of the concert is dedicated to Symphonie Fantastique, Berlioz’s vivid exploration of obsessive love and the supernatural. Under the direction of conductor James Blair, this concert offers an impressive display of both technical precision and emotional depth, highlighting the versatility of the orchestra and the enduring appeal of Romantic orchestral music 🧙♀️🎃
It has been fantastic to be back for another side-by-side day with the English National Ballet Philharmonic and conductor Maria Seletskaja ahead of their run of Tchaikovsky’s The Sleeping Beauty 💤
Our musicians have benefitted hugely from sitting within the orchestra and experiencing a full day of professional rehearsals first hand. Thank you for having us again! ... See MoreSee Less
We’re BACK after our summer break rehearsing for our first concert of the 2025/26 season at Cadogan Hall this Wednesday! 🎻
The orchestra is sounding fantastic rehearsing Strauss’s masterpiece Ein Heldenleben for the first time this evening at Guildhall School of Music and Drama! 🦸♂️
There are still tickets available to Wednesday’s concert- get yours now and don’t miss out on a thrilling evening of music from our exceptional group of young musicians 🎶🎼
The orchestra’s next concert is just two weeks away!
We’re especially excited to welcome our fantastic soloist, Annemarie Federle 📯
Annemarie Federle was appointed as the Principal Horn of the London Philharmonic Orchestra (LPO) in 2023 at the age of 20, whilst still a student at the Royal Academy of Music. Annemarie is also the Principal Horn of the Aurora Orchestra, and is frequently in demand as a guest principal.
As a soloist, Annemarie was a finalist in the BBC Young Musician competition in 2020, a semi-finalist in the ARD International Music Competition in 2021, and the winner of the Gianni Bergamo Classic Music Award in 2021. Her concerto performances include appearances with ensembles such as the LPO, Aurora Orchestra, London Mozart Players, English Chamber Orchestra, Munich Chamber Orchestra (as part of the ARD competition), and the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra (BBC Young Musician competition).
Annemarie recently graduated with First Class Honours from the Royal Academy of Music in London, where she was awarded the ‘King’s Commendation for Excellence’.
Hear Annemarie perform Ruth Gipps’ Horn Concerto with YMSO at Cadogan Hall on Wednesday 8th October, 7.30pm 🎶
After a restful summer break, the orchestra is so excited to be back at Cadogan Hall on Wednesday 8th October to launch its 2025/26 season with a programme you won’t want to miss 🎶
YMSO’s opening concert is built around Richard Strauss’ orchestral epic, Ein Heldenleben. The work is a dazzling display of the composer’s ability to tell a story through music, in this case seemingly portraying himself as the hero 🦸♂️
Sibelius chose to cast his country rather than himself in the starring role of his tone poem, Finlandia, which opens the concert. Ruth Gipps’ Horn Concerto is a family affair, written for her son as a showcase of his virtuosity. There is no doubt this will be on display once more in young star Annemarie Federle’s performance 📯
