London Medical Orchestra’s Spring celebrates the life of Joanna Bosanquet, LMOs 2nd Flute, Treasurer and Trustee, with a concert dedicated to her memory.

Jean Sibelius' epic tone poems 'Finlandia' and 'En Saga' bookend the programme and the middle two works, from the classical ere, are lighter in character. Schubert's sunny 5th Symphony, requested by Joanna, was penned when the composer was only 19 and displays his natural and open-hearted approach to writing for orchestra. Weber's 'Andante e Rondo Ungarese', written for the composer's brother, features Geoffrey Irwin, LMO's Principal Viola, as soloist in this display of Hungarian virtuosity.
