In the last RPO Prelude, members of the Orchestra perform one of Tchaikovsky’s most well-known chamber works, Souvenir de Florence – his string sextet was given its title as Tchaikovsky sketched the work’s main theme whilst visiting Florence in Italy.
RPO Preludes, new to the RPO’s season, is a series of chamber concerts curated and performed by leading musicians from the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. These concerts take place on the concert stage of Cadogan Hall from 6.15pm, before the main concerts begin at 7.30pm. The series provides a unique opportunity to not only listen to some astounding chamber music, but also to hear some of our musicians in a more intimate and personal setting.
The main concert follows at 7.30pm...
