SUMMARY:Anna Avramidou plays Tchaikovsky with The Purcell School Symphony Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:The Purcell School Symphony Orchestra returns to Milton Court with a vibrant programme featuring the first symphonies of Sergei Prokofiev and Dmitri Shostakovich.  \nProkofiev composed his Symphony No. 1\, the “Classical Symphony\,” in 1917 during the upheaval of the Russian Revolution. The work draws on the clarity and charm of Haydn while adding Prokofiev’s distinctive neoclassical wit. \nShostakovich wrote his Symphony No. 1 at just 19 as his graduation work at the Leningrad Conservatory. Both symphonies reveal the striking brilliance and individuality of these composers in their youth—an inspiring reflection of the creative potential nurtured at The Purcell School. \nFeatured soloist\, Anna Avramidou\, a Year 13 pianist at The Purcell School\, is rapidly gaining international recognition. She won the prestigious Cooper International Piano Competition in 2025 and has performed with the Cleveland Orchestra. Her accolades also include prizes at the Clara Haskil Piano Competition and the Franz Liszt International Piano Competition for Young Pianists in Weimar. \nAs the winner of The Purcell School’s Senior Concerto Competition\, Anna will perform Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1\, one of the most thrilling and monumental works in the piano repertoire. \nProkofiev: Symphony No. 1 in D major\, Op. 25 Classical Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto No. 1 in B♭ minor\, Op. 23  Anna Avramidou\, pianoShostakovich: Symphony No. 1 in F minor\, Op. 10 \nProgramme:Prokofiev: Symphony No. 1 in D major\, Op. 25 Classical Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto No. 1 in B♭ minor\, Op. 23 Anna Avramidou\, piano— Interval —Shostakovich: Symphony No. 1 in F minor\, Op. 10 \nTickets are £22 / £11 (Conc.) and can be purchased here
