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.

Biographies
The Clarion Quartet
Saturday, November 11, 2017, The Clarion Quartet, The Terezin Project. Works by Composers Banned by the Nazis. Schulhoff, Five Pieces for String Quartet, Ullmann, String Quartet No.3, Korngold, String Quartet No.3. The members of the Clarion Quartet are all musicians with the Pittsburgh symphony: Jennifer Orchard, violin, Marta Krechkovsky, violin, Tatjana Mead Chamis, viola and Bronwyn Banerdt, cello. This program was inspired by a visit to Teresenschtadt while on tour with the symphony. The audience agreed that this music is worthy of being performed both for its history and its musicality.
