Artistic leadership roles for Sir John Rutter, Emilia Hoving and Kevin John Edusei
Ahead of launching its 2025–26 London Season at the Royal Albert Hall on Wednesday 24 September, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO) today announces three new artistic appointments.
On Sunday 7 September our Music Director, Vasily Petrenko, took to the stage at the BBC Proms, conducting Ottorino Respighi’s Pines of Rome, Darius Milhaud's La beouf sur le toit with violinist Arabella Steinbacher, and Ralph Vaughan Williams’ evocative cityscape, his Symphony No.2 (A London Symphony).
See more photos, reviews and the audience's reaction from the night below, and you can also listen back to the concert on BBC Sounds.
The Journeys of Discovery podcast from the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Seven Hills continues with journalist and author Cathy Newman. Journeys of Discovery explores the life stories and passions of special guests from a range of careers, and delves into how music has shaped their journeys.
This summer, RPO Resound had the pleasure of collaborating with Orchestras Live and Deep Roots, Tall Trees (DRTT) to deliver a series of music workshops at a youth club in Corby. Through youth-led exploration of a variety of instruments and musical styles, the workshops resulted in a sprawling and adventurous EP, co-written between the young participants and RPO musicians.
