Our next concert at Cadogan Hall is just one month away! We’re so looking forward to welcoming back soloist and friend of the Orchestra, Misha Kaploukhii 🎹
Born in 2002, Misha Kaploukhii is an alumnus of the Moscow Gnessin College of Music where he studied with Mikhail Egiazaryan. He has recently completed his undergraduate studies at the Royal College of Music and is now studying for a Master of Performance with Professor Ian Jones and Leon McCawley. His studies are generously supported by Musicians’ Company Lambert Scholarship. Misha is an ABRSM award holder supported by the Eileen Rowe Trust, Talent Unlimited Charity, The Keyboard Charitable Trust, The Robert Turnbull Foundation and Drake Calleja Trust 2023/24.
Misha is thrilled to have been chosen as one of the recipients of the prestigious LSO Conservatoire Scholarships 2024/5, which will include support and professional development opportunities. He has recently been successful in the RCM Concerto Competition, International Ettlingen Piano Competition, winning the Hopkinson Gold Medal at the Chappell Medal Competition and multiple prizes at the 2024 Sheepdrove Piano Competition.
In 2022, Misha made his Cadogan Hall debut performing Rachmaninov’s 1st Concerto with YMSO. He has also performed Liszt’s 2nd Concerto with RCM Symphony Orchestra and Rachmaninov’s 4th Concerto with the Albion Orchestra.
Hear Misha perform Brahms’ stunning Piano Concerto No. 2 with YMSO at Cadogan Hall on Wednesday 19th February, 7.30pm 🎶
Yesterday, YMSO musicians played alongside members of the English National Ballet Philharmonic for a day of rehearsals on The Nutcracker, conducted by Maria Seletskaja.
This was our fifth side-by-side since 2019 and it is a real highlight of the orchestra’s calendar. Thank you to everyone at ENB for always giving our players such a warm welcome. What a fantastic day of music making! 🩰🎄 ... See MoreSee Less
Thanks again to everyone who attended our concert last week. The orchestra isn’t back in Cadogan Hall until the new year but we’re sure this spectacular programme will be worth the wait! 🇮🇹
YMSO’s first concert of 2025 opens in a jovial fashion with Otto Nicolai’s ever-popular overture to his opera The Merry Wives of Windsor. Next, the Orchestra welcomes back to Cadogan Hall the virtuosic pianist Misha Kaploukhii, this time to perform Brahms’ Piano Concerto No. 2 🎹
The second half begins with a gem of orchestral writing by Giacomo Puccini, his Preludio sinfonico. Finally, listeners are transported to the heart of ancient Rome’s most lavish and vibrant celebrations in Respighi’s exhilarating tone poem, Roman Festivals. The piece is the third and final part of his ‘Roman Trilogy’ and is arguably the most intense and dramatic of the three. Written in 1928, it showcases the composer’s masterful orchestration and his ability to evoke vivid imagery through music.
Introducing our fantastic soloist for our next concert, Kryštof Kohout! 🎻
Award-winning Czech violinist Kryštof Kohout is celebrated for his profound artistry as both a soloist and a chamber musician. Having recently made his Carnegie Hall debut recital, he regularly performs across Europe and the USA, with notable appearances at Wigmore Hall, Konzerthaus Berlin, Zeneakadémia Budapest and Musikverein Vienna. He has also performed at international festivals including the Gstaad Menuhin Festival, Edinburgh International Festival, International Chamber Music Festival Plovdiv, Smetana Days and Prussia Cove. Kryštof is a laureate of the Bartók World Competition in Budapest and has recently been selected as the sole instrumentalist to join the prestigious Classeek Ambassador Programme in Switzerland.
Kryštof made his Barbican Hall debut at 21 performing the Berg Violin Concerto and he has collaborated with orchestras internationally including the Hungarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, Pilsen Philharmonic Orchestra, Moravian Chamber Soloists, Jenaer Philharmonie and London Classical Orchestra. His performances have been featured on international radio and TV including the Czech Radio & TV, Dutch Concert Radio as well as the BBC.
A passionate chamber musician, Kryštof is a founding member of the internationally acclaimed Fibonacci Quartet, recent winners of the Premio Paolo Borciani International String Quartet Competition. The quartet have joined the YCAT roster and are currently a resident ensemble at ProQuartet Paris.
Kryštof studies at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama as a full scholarship student with professor David Takeno as well as on the International Artist Diploma Programme at the Royal Northern College of Music. Upcoming engagements include a solo performance with the BBC Philharmonic as well as numerous solo and chamber performances across the UK and Europe.
Kryštof is grateful for the generous support he receives through the Countess of Munster Trust, Hattori Foundation, Harrison-Frank Family Foundation and Velehrad London.

Rehearsals are off to a flying start at Guildhall School of Music & Drama this afternoon with Leonard Bernstein’s iconic Symphonic Dances from West Side Story 💃

In the second half, two works by the great composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein: the Symphonic Dances from his beloved musical West Side Story, followed by the Overture to his 1956 operetta Candide, a perfect encore.
Introducing our fantastic soloist for next month’s concert, William Bracken! 🎹

The Wirral-born pianist has won numerous awards including 1st prize at the 2022 Liszt Society International Piano Competition, 1st prize, press prize and audience prize at the 2023 Euregio Piano Award international piano competition and 3rd prize at the 2024 UniSA international piano competition.

William has worked with many of today’s leading musicians including Stephen Hough, Richard Goode, Simon Trpceski and Paul Lewis.
