SERENATA MUSIC BEGINS THE 2025 SEASON WITH THE LONDON SYMPHONIA

On our first concert on Saturday, February 1, Rei Hotoda will conduct the London Symphonia in "A New Moon Celebration" featuring Scott St. John, violin, Lina Cao, gusheng, narrator Derek Kwan and the rising stars of the London Youth Symphony. We will be taken through the meaning of the music much of which will be new to London audiences. We will hear compositions by Kevin Lau, Huang Rui, RenataroTaki, Debussy, Alice Ping Yee Ho, Li Huazhi and Rui Wang. It should be a fascinating evening.
This concert follows the last London Symphonia concert which featured Joe Lanza and the Symphonia Strings in a wonderful Baroque program. Londoners are fortunate to have the opportunity to hear such great music.

See our concert listings on the right for more good music in the London area.

WE ANNOUNCE OUR 21ST YEAR
Serenata Music provides London with a varied program in 2025.
A New Moon Celebration with the London Symphonia on February 1 will be a unique experience. Conductor Rei Hodota, narrator David Kwan, Lina Cao, guzheng, Scott St. John, violin, and the rising stars of the London Youth Symphony will present an extravagantly colourful collection of stories and music that evoke the Moon, the stars, and the way they shine upon the cycles of our lives.
On April 5 we will be fortunate to hear rising international star Kerson Leung play the Beethoven violin concerto as well as the Symphony No.2 by Sibelius. The London Symphonia will be conducted by Tania Miller, recently appointed the artistic director of the Brott Music Festival.
The Musicians of Malboro will grace the stage of the Don Wright Faculty of Music on February 14 for the third time under Serenata Music sponsorship. We look forward to their enthusiastic performance of both modern and classic repertoire.
Look for mote details as we approach the above concert dates.
