Phone: 020 7381 0441To mark the 130th anniversary of the work's London première - at the former St James Hall in Piccadilly - our March concert features arguably Dvořák's finest symphony, the Seventh, steeped in Czech melodies. Elgar's epic and quintessentially English Violin Concerto makes up the rest of the programme, with Mattieu Van Bellen playing the virtuosic solo part. Adrian Brown, whose previous performances of Elgar and Dvořák have been particularly special, conducts.

Phone: 020 7381 0441Our May concert pays musical homage to the close friendship that existed between Dvořák and Brahms. Dvořák's serenely beautiful Serenade for Strings - one of his most popular works - is framed by Brahms's muscular Tragic Overture and his glorious and long awaited First Symphony. Thomas Kemp, who conducted a highly acclaimed string concert with CCO in 2013, conducts.

Phone: 020 7381 0441We end our 2014/15 series with an exciting programme that pairs two classics from the Twentieth Century repertoire with one of Mozart's finest piano concertos. Stravinsky's energetic Symphony in Three Movements and Copland's wonderful ballet score, Appalachian Spring - both written during the Second War - provide a contrasting backdrop to Mozart's exquisite 22nd Piano Concerto. Chris Hopkins, who charmed audience and orchestra alike with his Rachmaninov Paganini variations in 2014, makes a very welcome return as soloist. Paul Hoskins conducts.
