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.

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 Ébène, 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.
