Sparklingly witty, exhilarating, and with a few surprises thrown in for good measure, Prokofiev’s Classical Symphony opens the final concert of Sevenoaks Symphony Orchestra’s season.

Beethoven’s innovative and sublime fourth piano concerto follows. Soloist, Anson Wong, studied in the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts from the age of nine. He has won several prizes in China and Japan, and recently won the Beethoven Prize in the 2025 Dublin International Piano Competition.

The concert concludes with one of the works in which inspiration came to Mendelssohn as a result of his travels. Initial impetus for his third symphony came from a visit to Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh. It has a traditional four-movement structure, although the movements are written to be played without a break. With elements of Scottish folk music and the “Scotch Snap”, this symphony as a whole is full of contrasts.
