One of the most significant contemporary composers of our time, Péter Eötvös, died in April this year. He left behind a vast body of work that included operas, film scores, chamber music and choral pieces. One of his last orchestral compositions was Cziffra Psodia, a piano concerto dedicated to the Hungarian pianist György Cziffra, which we’ll perform on Thursday 28 November at Cadogan Hall with pianist János Balázs and our Principal Associate Conductor Alexander Shelley.

The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO) and Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts have joined forces to adapt the innovative STROKESTRA® model for a Florida audience. This exciting partnership aims to cultivate a new programme for the Dr. Phillips Center aligning with their vision of Arts For Every Life®.

On Tuesday 5 November 2024, we enjoyed an evening filled with musical show tunes as Let’s Face the Music returned to the Royal Albert Hall for a night of musical theatre classics. The orchestra was joined by some of the West End's leading voices—Kerry Ellis, Kelly Mathieson, Jamie Muscato, and Jon Robyns—with conductor Richard Balcombe, and the evening was presented by Bonnie Langford, accompanied by BSL signer Angie Newman.
