We are passionate about music. We believe live performance is an immersive and dynamic experience where the audience is as important to the concert as the musicians. Music has the power to transcend – contemporary and classical scores can bring together diverse audiences of all backgrounds to celebrate the joy of music. At our core, London Symphonia is a professional symphony committed to performing vibrant and bold musical experiences for London and the region.
For our season opening concert, CBC Radio host Tom Allen will share the incredible story behind Hector Berlioz’ Symphonie Fantastique. Canadian violinist and rising star, Kerson Leong joins the orchestra for Sergei Prokofiev’s evocative Violin Concerto No. 1.
The London Symphonia Winds shine the spotlight on three works by composers with London connections - Jeff Smallman, Kenneth Bray and Oliver Whitehead. The Serenade in C minor, K. 388 by W.A. Mozart, and the Wind Nonet in B flat major by Johannes Brahms bring an inspired global twist to this local celebration.
London Remembers, as conductor Martin MacDonald leads the Symphonia with a selection of wartime songs, anthems and iconic pieces by Samuel Barber and William Walton. Patricia O’Callaghan, Phillip Addis and Amabile Choirs of London, Canada join London Symphonia for the beauty of Fauré’s Requiem
