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.

YMSO is delighted to return to Cadogan Hall for the opening concert of its 2022-23 season. Franz Lehár’s light-hearted overture to his operetta The Merry Widow opens the concert before soloist Misha Kaploukhii joins the Orchestra to perform Rachmaninov’s First Piano Concerto – a concise tour de force.

Elgar’s magisterial Symphony No. 1 brings the evening to a compelling conclusion.
