The Young Musicians Symphony Orchestra brings together outstanding young players from across the UK who are on the threshold of their orchestral careers. Every professional orchestra in the British Isles contains alumni of YMSO, many of whom are section principals.

In the second concert of its 2022/23 season, YMSO welcomes guest conductor Scott Wilson for a thrilling programme that culminates in Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade, one of the most vivid pieces in the repertoire and a virtuosic showcase for each section of the orchestra.

The concert opens in a jovial manner with Ravel’s comical Alborada del gracioso. Piers Lane is the soloist in Carl Vine’s Second Piano Concerto, a piece he premiered in 2012 with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra.
