SERENATA MUSIC WELCOMES EVERYONE BACK TO THE 2025-26 CONCERT SEASON
We are pleased to continue our collaboration with both the London Symphonia and the Don Wright Faculty of Music.
Canadian pianist David Jalbert opens the season with London Symphonia with the Ravel piano concerto in G major. Londoners have had the privilege of hearing David on our stage and in London many times. Each concert has been unique as he expands his repertoire. Maestra Cosette Justo Vldes will make her Symphonia debut conducting Mozart's Symphony no.39, Holme's La Nuit et l"Amour, andPrat's Canta el Carretero Caunda Dan Las Seis.
In November The Musicians from Marlboro will return for the fourth time to perform at Western's von Kuster hall.
London's own Lara St. John will join London Symphonia in January with conductor Nicolas Ellis in a concert titled The Ancient Flame. She will perform Dorman's Violin concerto No.2, Nigunim.
Our final presentation will be The Brahms Effect. Clarinetist Graham Lord and the London Symphonia String Quartet, Joe Lanza, violin, Emile Pare, violin, Kelvin Enns, viola, and Ben Bolt-Martin will perform the Brahms Clarinet Quintet and other pieces. Tom Allen will provide the commentary.
We look forward to seeing you during this exciting season.
