| 9-Jan-2012 Southbank Centre: Purcell Room | Park Lane Group Young Artists at the Purcell Room |
This January’s Park Lane Group Young Artists Series is featuring 28 exceptional young performers over five concerts. Each concert further features a piece by a different contemporary composer each night, as well as one by an older, ‘Linked Composer’.
