We are offering free tickets to anyone under 18 as youth has a special place in this concert being performed at St Andrew’s Church, Muswell Hill N10 on Sunday 17th November.

The programme includes a much-loved work - Shostakovich's Second Piano Concerto - which Shostakovich wrote for his 19-year-old son to perform. Fittingly, our soloist is a young man as well - a talented young 17-year-old from The Purcell School for Young Musicians called Yazdi Madon so we are offering young people the opportunity to come and hear his performance for free.

Yazdi has won awards at national and international competitions; with achievements in 2024 including first place at the EPTA (UK) competition and Bromsgrove Young Musicians’ Platform, as well as at the Munich Piano Competition and ‘Dinu Lipatti’ Competition for Youth.

The rest of the programme consists of Beethoven's Egmont Overture and, in the second half, Tchaikovsky's brilliant, intense and dramatic Fourth Symphony.

Don’t miss out on free tickets for all your young people - and advance online tickets for adults are only £13 (£16 on the day/on the door).

Tickets are available online here or on the door.
