Imperial College Symphony Orchestra, rightly recognised as one of the finest University orchestras in the UK, makes a welcome return to Cadogan Hall with a programme that features Prokofiev’s Symphony No. 5 which the composer himself described as “a symphony of the greatness of the human spirit, a song of praise of free and happy mankind”.
In the first half of the concert, they are joined by distinguished cellist Laura van der Heijden for a performance of Walton’s Cello Concerto – the piece that shot her to fame when she won BBC Young Musician in 2012.
