The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra joins forces with the Chamber Orchestra of Whitgift School.
Whitgift is an independent school for boys aged 10-18. The Whitgift Choristers and Chamber Choir, Whitgift-Minster Choral Society, and Whitgift First Form Choir also appear in this evening of music for all the family, alongside the talented choirs of Old Palace of John Whitgift School and Croydon Minster.
This concert is packed with classics including Tchaikovsky's impassioned Symphony No.5 and choral works by Parry and Walton. It features a rendition of Glazunov's virtuosic Violin Concerto, performed by Whitgift International Music Competition 2013 winner, Dan-Iulian Drutac, royal fanfares from the best of brass, and an epic masterpiece from contemporary composer Karl Jenkins.
