The annual FOM gala raises awareness for the CPO and this year pays tribute to Ruth Allen, indefatigable supporter of the arts. Ruth was on the CPO Advisory Board and on the FOM committee for years.

Jonathan Lo makes a welcome return to the CPO to conduct the full Summer Festival season, with soloist Alexander Ullman, internationally acclaimed winner of the Franz Liszt Piano Competition in Budapest.
