Alissa Firsova was born in Moscow into a family of composers. In 1991 she and her family moved to England where she studied piano and composition at the Purcell School before taking her degree at the Royal Academy of Music. Alissa lives and works in St Albans as composer and concert pianist.

St Albans Orchestral Society (as the Orchestra was then known) gave its first concert on 19th April 1932 in the Victoria Hall, St
Albans, with two symphonies, three overtures and a piano concerto! Tonight's programme is slightly shorter, presenting outstanding works from across three centuries - encompassing the rhythmic modernism of Adams, the lyrical romanticism of Rachmaninov and the musical perfection of Beethoven.

In this concert given as part of the St Albans Festival, Honegger's evocative sound-picture of a mighty steam locomotive is in sharp
contrast to Shostakovich's piano concerto with its intensely beautiful slow movement. Brahms' fourth and final symphony fully displays the composer's mastery of symphonic forces, a worthy successor in the tradition of Mozart and Beethoven.
