Howells's second Piano Concerto was commissioned by the Royal Philharmonic Society and premiered at the Queen's Hall, London on 27 April 1925. The second Piano Concerto highlights how far Howells has travelled stylistically since his first Piano Concerto of 1914, marking his mature style, his courage in innovation and his sense of drama and colour in his use of orchestration.
