The Outcry Ensemble and conductor James Henshaw make a welcome return to SJSS to explore and celebrate London’s impact through the ages on musical culture. May’s concert, part of a festival that continues throughout the year, features Walton's renowned 1st Symphony, completed in the capital in 1935. This epic symphony sits alongside Haydn’ s energetic London Symphony, his final work of the genre. This is complemented with a performance of a thought-provoking string work by Isobel Waller-Bridge, a celebrated British composer whose music is equally at home in the concert hall and television screen.


There will be a pre-concert talk at 6:30pm.
