Just over a month to go until our next concert at St John’s Smith Square and it’s going to be a showstopper! What a fantastic programme, including Elgar’s wonderful Sea Pictures featuring the world-renowned mezzo-soprano Catherine Wyn-Rogers. The concert is also a rare opportunity to hear Richard Strauss’ epic Alpine Symphony live in such an amazing hall. We hope to see you there.
