Stoneleigh Youth Orchestra return to Fairfield Halls with two titans of the orchestral repertoire. Both are firm favourites for many concert-goers, combining perfectly crafted melodies with powerfully exhilarating drama. SYO enjoyed performing Tchaikovsky's Fifth Symphony at Fairfield Halls last year, and this time it's the turn of the Fourth - a work of blazing fanfares, a humorous scherzo, and euphoric celebration. We are delighted that Daniel Brandon is joining us again to perform Dvorak's mighty Cello Concerto, a work that showcases wonderfully the talents of both soloist and orchestra. We will be taking both these works on tour to Spain in July.

Stoneleigh Youth Orchestra is one of the UK’s leading youth orchestras. Based in Wimbledon it is made up of two full-sized symphony orchestras of over 170 players drawn from across south-west London and Surrey. It rehearses weekly during term time and gives three concerts a year.
