UCTSO Symphony Concert

Under the baton of Brandon Phillips, the UCT Symphony Orchestra presents a dynamic and diverse programme to close their 2025 season.

The evening opens with the world premiere of Rondo from Symphony in E by Loren Ehlers, winner of the 2024 Jan Royce Foundation Prize for Orchestral Composition. Rising star Dané van Graan, winner of the 2024 Laura Searle Piano Competition, joins the orchestra for Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 1—a virtuosic showcase of youthful energy and brilliance. The programme culminates in Dvorák’s radiant Symphony No. 8, a work full of warmth, vitality and symphonic grandeur, offering a fittingly uplifting conclusion to the orchestra’s season.
