The Wimbledon Symphony Orchestra’s annual highlight concert in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support, at St Paul’s Church, Inner Park Road, Wimbledon on Saturday, 29th February at 7.30pm.

WSO is delighted to support Macmillan Merton once again in a programme featuring the phenomenal young violinist Elena Abad playing the Brahms violin concerto - one of the true greats of the violin repertoire. Elena recently won Gold Medal at the Trinity Laban Conservatoire. See the video of Elena playing her own arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody for a preview of her amazing talent.

After enjoying delicious homemade canapés prepared by the Macmillan Merton committee we will return to the second half of the concert for Beethoven's Symphony number 3 - 'Eroica'.  This is an evening not to be missed, in aid of the vital charity Macmillan that touches so many families.
