The ECO’s late President, Leopold de Rothschild, was a great friend and supporter of the Orchestra for over five decades. In this concert we present some of his favourite music, conducted by his friend (and long term associate of the ECO), Raymond Leppard. Leo was also a great supporter of young talent and so we are delighted to introduce 17 year old Aristo Sham to our Cadogan Hall audiences, following his spectacular debut with the ECO in a private concert earlier this year.
