The Purcell School Symphony Orchestra returns to Milton Court with a vibrant programme featuring the first symphonies of Sergei Prokofiev and Dmitri Shostakovich. Prokofiev 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 Prokofievs distinctive neoclassical wit. Shostakovich 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 youthan inspiring reflection of the creative potential nurtured at The Purcell School. Featured 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. As the winner of The Purcell Schools Senior Concerto Competition, Anna will perform Tchaikovskys Piano Concerto No. 1, one of the most thrilling and monumental works in the piano repertoire.

Cuffe & Taylor in association with 33 & West present Kiesza. Kiesza stormed onto the scene in 2014 with her impassioned hit “Hideaway,” which has accrued over a billion streams to date. The accompanying one shot video was featured on several Best of the Decade lists. Her debut studio album Sound of a Woman topped charts globally and sold over a million units. With subsequent top tier collaborations including Jack Ü (Diplo and Skrillex), Deadmau5, and Francis Mercier, Kiesza has continued to evolve her sound and career independently, maintaining a strong and unique artistic profile despite a two year hiatus following a serious car crash. Her first independent album Crave received critical acclaim, paving the way for her most recent vision, a dance music series titled “Dancing and Crying.” In the summer of 2024, the single “I Go Dance” reached #1 on the US Dance Airplay Chart, marking another milestone in her career. With this achievement, Kiesza continues pushing the boundaries of dance music forward. A new era of female driven dance music, crafted by a true singer songwriter from her Toronto home base, is in full effect. Focused on dance, joy, non conformity, togetherness, and self exploration, “Dancing and Crying: Volume 3” is set to arrive on May 8, with two additional collaborations releasing ahead of her own rollout.
