Gala Concert 2: Beethoven's Eighth Symphony

  • Ukrainian Cathedral Duke Street London, England, W1K 5BQ United Kingdom (map)

Join us for the second concert in our Gala series, featuring an exhilarating programme of orchestral and violin masterpieces. Opening with Mendelssohn’s Hebrides Overture, the music sweeps you into the windswept beauty of Scotland’s rugged coastline. Sibelius’ Humoresques follow, with our concertmaster Mira Marton bringing a playful yet poignant energy to these lyrical miniatures. The evening culminates in Beethoven’s Eighth Symphony, a lively and bold work brimming with humour, rhythmic surprises, and a distinctly classical spirit. Together, these pieces form a journey through joy, contemplation, and the boundless emotional landscapes of music.

This concert promises to inspire and uplift, all while supporting a vital cause. All profits go directly towards the Ukraine Welcome Centre, providing crucial assistance to displaced families. Indulge in a stirring musical experience while contributing to a brighter future for those in need.
