Call us RP-OO7 becuase on Tuesday 4 April we performed the The Music of Bond to a sold-out Royal Albert Hall, celebrating over 60 years of James Bond on the big screen.
The Orchestra was joined by vocalists Alison Jiear and Lance Ellington, conductor Gareth Hudson and special guest presenter, Anthony Horowitz CBE.

Featuring iconic theme songs and thrilling Bond anthems from almost six decades of box office blockbusters, the first half's highlights included the main themes from Diamonds are Forever, You Only Live Twice, The Man with the Golden Gun, and We Have All The Time in the World from On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

The second half saw the belting tunes such as Goldfinger, You Know My Name from Casino Royale and No Time to Die, and went out with a bang in the encore with the main theme from Skyfall.
Terrific evening listening to the peerless Royal Philharmonic Orchestra play The Music of Bond (James Bond).

If you weren't able to be with us at the Royal Albert Hall, there's still a couple more opportunities to experience The Music of Bond in concert in our 2023-24 season.
