Fortismere Community Symphony Orchestra presents a programme of Beethoven, Tchaikovsky and Shostakovich.

Beethoven's Egmont Overture opens, followed by Shostakovich's much-loved second Piano Concerto. The second half consists of Tchaikovsky's brilliant, intense and dramatic Fourth Symphony.

Shostakovich wrote the piano concerto for his 19-year-old son to perform so, fiittingly, our soloist Yazdi Madon is a talented young pianist from The Purcell School. We are offering free tickets for under-18s for this concert.

Visit our website www.fortismeremusiccentre.co.uk for more information and to book. Tickets are £13 online in advance, £16 on the door. Under-18s free.

Programme:
Beethoven: Egmont Overture
Shostakovich: Piano Concerto No.2
Tchaikovsky: Symphony No.4


Fortismere Community Symphony Orchestra
Conductor: Thomas Gregory
Pianist: Yazdi Madon
