Pianists Mark Knoop and Roderick Chadwick, with whom Michael frequently worked on new compositions, perform Wild Flowers and ‘Five Uncharacteristic Marches with Three Trios’.

Following four back-to-back sets of record-breaking ticket sales, SUSO launched its first December concert of the 2017/18 season in exactly the way it hopes to continue. On its upward trajectory towards the 100th anniversary celebrations, we now announce our partnership with Russian-British soloist Dunja Lavrova, who has astonished audiences in Russia and Europe performing Dvorak’s Violin Concerto. Known as one of the most difficult violin concertos in the repertoire, the beautiful sweeping melodies coupled with her ingenious musicality make this a performance not to be missed.

In the spirit of SUSO’s annual Gala concert, A London Symphony by Vaughan Williams provides a perfect showcase opportunity for the best classical musicians at the University. You will be swept through the bustling streets of London before taking a stroll down the River Thames as the bells of Westminster ring in your ears. The programme is rounded out with one of Johannes Brahms’ greatest works, his Tragic Overture. This concert is likely to sell out so book your tickets early to avoid disappointment.

Hannah Shilvock is performing an hour long lunchtime recital at Romsey Abbey, she is joined by her accompanist Daniel Keen.

Hannah will be performing a programme of bass clarinet and clarinet music:

Edifice for bass clarinet and piano by David Bennett Thomas.

Cello Sonata in E minor, movement 1 by Johannes Brahms, arranged for bass clarinet and piano by Helen Paskins.

Bela Kovac, Hommage to Kodaly for solo clarinet.

Jump! by Robert Davidson for bass clarinet solo.

Ballade by Eugene Bozza.

The concert showcases the music of U.S composer Lucius Craig Cervantes sensitively blended with film of 101 Diana portrait paintings by U.K artist Melanie Anne Sanderson. Two personal tributes becoming one after a chance internet meeting – music and art woven together in a transatlantic tapestry.

The music will be performed by Southampton University Symphony Orchestra, regarded as one of the finest university orchestras in the UK. Performances will be conducted by Sergiu Rusu. This is a not-for-profit performance in aid of youth charities & enterprises.
