FOR its next performance, the Hillingdon Philharmonic Orchestra invites people to join them for a concert of legendary classics, including Haydn’s pioneering Trumpet Concerto.

Trumpet soloist Ian Lynch will be performing with the players for a piece which is now considered one of Haydn’s most popular works.

Having initially studied music in both London and New York, Ian has gone on to perform in many shows in the West End, including Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables and the King and I.

The programme will also feature Beethoven’s Symphony no.5, possibly one of the most legendary pieces of classical music ever written.

From the instantly recognisable first four notes, which became known in World War Two as a powerful metaphor for the allied V for Victory campaign, it reaches a triumphal conclusion.

The symphony is particularly spectacular when heard at a live performance.

The concert will open with Mozart’s Overture to The Magic Flute, providing a taster of the combination of sentiment and spirit that features throughout the opera.  

The Hillingdon Philharmonic has more than 60 registered members and has performed a wide repertoire over the years.

The Legendary Classics concert will be led by Lucy Cumming and conducted by the founder of the orchestra, Peter J. Williams.

Ian Lynch’s performance is supported by West London Brass Repairs and Restorations.
