A orchestra will be joined by a finalist from the BBC Young Musician of the Year when it performs in a Watford church next month.

Joseph Longstaff will perform Strauss’ Horn Concerto no. 1 with Audentior Symphony Orchestra, Watford’s newest and most ambitious orchestra.

The 21-year-old was a brass finalist in the BBC Young Musician of the Year competition in 2020.

He is currently studying at the Karajan Conservatoire in Berlin but is travelling back to the UK to perform with Audentior Symphony Orchestra on Saturday, March 25.

The orchestra will also perform Dvorak’s Symphony no. 8 and Mendelssohn’s Hebrides Overture.

The concert follows Audentior Sympony's popular film music spectacular, which sold out the Clarendon Muse just before Christmas.
