POLITICAL unrest and national pride are the themes of the Henley Symphony Orchestra’s latest concert.
From Beethoven’s Emperor Concerto to Smetana’s evocative Vitava, The Hexagon on Queen’s Walk will be thick with musical intrigue and conspiracy.

He is currently Professor of Piano at the Guildhall School of Music in London and has been awarded his Fellowship there.
