  1. Overture, from La Gazza ladra, 'The Thieving Magpie' - Gioachino Rossini
  2. Concerto for cello and orchestra in A minor Op 129 - Robert Schumann
  3. Symphony No 5 in E minor Op 64 - Pyotr Tchaikovsky

Join the talented teenagers of The Purcell School in a characteristically exciting performance, opening with Rossini’s sparkling, light-hearted Overture to The Thieving Magpie, followed by Schumann’s Cello Concerto, considered to be one of the greatest Romantic concertos for the instrument, and Tchaikovsky’s most-loved large scale work, his 5th Symphony.

The Purcell School is one of the UK’s leading specialist music schools, based locally, in Bushey. Alumni include Oliver Knussen CBE; Catrin Finch and BBC Young Musician of the Year winners, Nicholas Daniel, Lara Melda, and Martin James Bartlett. The School holds the Unesco Mozart Gold Medal in recognition of its unique contribution to music, education and international culture.
