These are very challenging times for every arts organisation and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO) is delighted that its application to the Culture Recovery Fund has been successful.

The grant will help support its musicians over the coming months as well as its community and education activity in the UK regions. The RPO is already performing live concerts and looks forward to expanding on these in the run up to Christmas. Music has played a vital role throughout the pandemic, helping millions of people get through home isolation and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra looks forward to contributing further to aid the country's recovery.
