Joined by soloists including RCM Concerto Competition winner Polina Makhina and RCM Director Colin Lawson, the RCM Symphony Orchestra performs a programme of sparkling scores featuring music by alumna Dani Howard.

Dedicated to RCM professor Joseph Horovitz, Dani Howard’s The Butterfly Effect reflects on how small actions can have a lasting impact, particularly her decision to study at the College and the effect this continues to have on her musical journey.
