Wonderful concert by @PhoenixOrch and my favourite piece of the evening was undoubtedly @StuartHancock1 violin concerto played with great charisma and vigour by @fhvln - thank you
This is the look of a cat saying “why are you spending more time with @LevParikian this week than with me?”
😅
First up TONIGHT @cadoganhall it’s @StuartHancock1’s wonderful concerto with @PhoenixOrch - & @NeilKBrand introducing film music in the 2nd half!

We are looking forward to the @PhoenixOrch Centenary concert tomorrow at Cadogan Hall. Stephen Smithers, Solicitor in our Litigation team, is playing on the Viola! https://t.co/RBBQKNKfFd
I’m conducting a concert on Wednesday and think you should all come. It’s at Cadogan Hall and features:
- @StuartHancock1’s superb violin concerto played by (also superb) @fhvln
- film music (inc. E.T., Streetcar Named Desire)
- @NeilKBrand presenting with his usual aplomb
Thanks to Lev and @PhoenixOrch for a top evening.
90% of the music from Olivier's 1944 Shakespeare film, full orchestra, two choirs and one very lucky actor: Walton's HENRY V is a great piece. But as an antidote to toxic flagshagging it's also now an important one
We're delighted to be joined by Samuel West (@exitthelemming) to narrate Walton's epic adaptation of Shakespeare's Henry V as we continue to celebrate our centenary year.
