One of the most celebrated touring orchestras in the world, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO), joined this season by acclaimed violinist Ray Chen, enriches lives through orchestral experiences that are uncompromising in their excellence and inclusive in their appeal, placing it at the forefront of music-making in the UK and beyond. Performing approximately 200 concerts annually, the Orchestra proudly embraces a broad repertoire and reaches a diverse, global audience of more than 60 million people—both live and online. While artistic integrity remains paramount, the RPO boldly pushes boundaries, recording video game, film, and television soundtracks and collaborating with pop stars as it tours the world performing the great symphonic repertoire. Providing a world-class acoustic setting, the Martha and John M. Rivers Performance Hall offers the community the perfect environment to experience this renowned orchestra as part of the Gaillard Center’s celebratory 10th season.
