FORBIDDEN MUSIC CONCERT IS A SMASH HIT
The London Symphonia String Quartet along with narrator Tom Allen wowed the audience with stories and music from the era of the Holocaust. The story of how the Walter Kaufman's String Quartet No.5, composed in India in 1935, came to London was beautifully told. The complementary tales of the Edwin Schulhoff and Erik Korngold music made a fascinating evening of history and music. The bizarre story of the Third Reich's glorification of Mozart completed the program with the playing of the String Quartet No.21. We thank Joseph Lanza, Andrew Chung and the staff of the London Symphonia who brought this concert to fruition.
We also appreciate the support of Jewish London, the London Free Press and CBC London.

We were pleased to welcome 17 year old Canadian pianist, Jan Lisiecki, back to London in 2012. following a wonderful appearance with Orchestra London this year and a concert at the Stratford Summer Music Festival. Jan has recently recorded two Mozart concertos under Maestro Christian Zacharias with the Kammerorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks with Deutche Grammaphon. Born in Calgary, Jan has appeared around the world with orchestras and with the New Zealand String Quartet, Quatuor Ãbène, and the Penderecki String Quartet.
He returned to our stage in January of 2017 and thrilled the audience with performances of the Bach, Partita No.3 in A Minor, Schumann, Klavierstücke, Chopin, Scherzo No.1 in B Minor, and Nocturnes, Schubert, Impromptus.
On March 2, 2019, Jan graced us again with a program of Ravel, Schumann, Rachmaninoff and Chopin. This was after he had won a Juno award in 2018 and preceded by one week the 2019 Juno awards that were presented in London.
