Joined by soloists including RCM Concerto Competition winner Polina Makhina and RCM Director Colin Lawson, the RCM Symphony Orchestra performs a programme of sparkling scores featuring music by alumna Dani Howard.
Dedicated to RCM professor Joseph Horovitz, Dani Howard’s The Butterfly Effect reflects on how small actions can have a lasting impact, particularly her decision to study at the College and the effect this continues to have on her musical journey.

The RCM’s Colin Lawson, Timothy Lines and Hannah Shimwell play a rarely-performed Classical concerto for three basset horns by Czech composer Druschetzky, and the programme is framed by two 20th-century masterworks. Polina Makhina takes to the stage for Korngold’s irresistible Violin Concerto, and Bartók’s suite from his ‘pantomime ballet’ The Miraculous Mandarin is full of unusual instrumental effects.
