Cadogan Hall

Located in the heart of Chelsea Cadogan Hall opened in 1907 as a New Christian Science Church. When the congregation moved to a smaller venue the building fell into disuse until the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra chose it as their base. After an extensive refurbishment of the acoustics Cadogan Hall now stages over 300 concerts and events a year. The majority of the programme is orchestra and classic but also features contemporary folk, jazz and world music, book launches, debates and conferences. It also hosts the popular BBC Proms Chamber Music Series. Cadogan Hall is two minutes walk from Sloane Square tube station and one tube stop from Victoria railway station. Frequent bus services stop in Sloane Square and neighbouring streets including King’s Road, Sloane Street and Lower Sloane Street.

Since they walked away with the top prize on UK primetime TV talent show, ‘When Will I Be Famous’ in 2007, the Red Hot Chilli Pipers haven’t stopped for a breath, other than to inflate their bagpipes! Taking their signature ‘Bagrock’ sound to the masses, The Chillis have fast become a global phenomenon, rocking far-flung shores from Melbourne to Milwaukee and everywhere in between. They’ve spent the last 20 years perfecting their phenomenal live act with sell out shows across the globe. Kicking things off in December with their Scottish Tour, with an eight week tour of mainland Europe then coming home in August to perform at the world renowned Edinburgh Festival and Glasgow’s ‘Piping Live’-the band barely had time to do their washing before jetting off again!

ZIOS Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra

14 May 2025 - 14 May 2025

We welcome one of the most exciting orchestras in Southeast Asia, the Philippine Philharmonic from Manila, which has been impressing audiences and critics worldwide in recent years. They perform a programme of much-loved works including Mendelssohn’s Fourth Symphony, the ‘Italian’, inspired by the sights, sounds and colours of 19th-century Italy, and Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake Suite containing some of the most memorable music from his hugely popular ballet. Joining them is the internationally renowned soloist Wen-Sinn Yang to perform Tchaikovsky’s Rococo Variations, a sparkling celebration of the 18th century inspired by Mozart. The Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra’s performance will open with a short work by Filipino composer Jeffrey Ching, the orchestra’s composer-in-residence, who studied philosophy and music in Cambridge and London. In celebration of this cultural exchange between the UK and the Philippines, Jeffrey Ching is writing a specially commissioned piece for the UK tour which he describes as ‘a dialogue across cultures which is also a playful commentary on the rituals of the concert hall’. This is a change to the previously advertised concert. Due to governmental budget cuts and challenges in Argentina, the Buenos Aires Symphony Orchestra of Colón Opera has had to cancel its UK tour. As a result, its London concert at Cadogan Hall has been cancelled. We are delighted that the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra from Manila has agreed to take over the tour and perform instead.

Rpo: Prokofiev And Borodin

11 Jun 2025 - 11 Jun 2025

The wind rises, and waves smash against the North Sea coast of England. The earth shakes, as the very ground beneath our feet threatens to give way. And, in 19th-century Russia, a chemist with a gift for music, dreams of ancient times and exotic tribes, and creates sheer sonic alchemy. Music can show us the world in magical new ways, and as conductor Gemma New brings the RPO’s season to a close, she’s chosen four pieces that stir the imagination even while they thrill the senses. Britten’s seascapes, Borodin’s oriental fantasies and Victoria Borisova-Ollas’ tribute to the imagination of Salman Rushdie will make a vivid setting for the playfulness and wit of Prokofiev’s brilliant Third Piano Concerto – played by young pianist Daniel Ciobanu for whom every performance is a new adventure.

Rpo: Tchaikovsky’s Sixth Symphony

29 May 2025 - 29 May 2025

Don’t be misled by the title: for Tchaikovsky, ‘Pathétique’ meant ‘full of emotion’ and when he composed his autobiographical final symphony… well, let’s just say that he didn’t hold back. Soaring romance, desperate tragedy and brilliant celebration: it’s all here, in a symphony that leaves no heartstring untugged, right up to its devastating and unforgettable conclusion. If you’ve heard our guest conductor Antonello Manacorda in action at the Royal Opera House, you’ll know that he aims straight for the heart of everything he conducts. So expect elegance and joy in Mozart’s exuberant Overture to The Magic Flute, and pure energy when he joins RPO Artist-in-Residence Johan Dalene to play the piece with which Dalene shot to fame in 2019: the powerful Violin Concerto by Carl Nielsen. It’s possible that no one alive plays it better.

The Blow Monkeys

11 Oct 2025 - 24 Oct 2025

With hits like ‘Digging Your Scene’ and ‘It Doesn’t Have To Be This Way’, The Blow Monkeys epitomised the glamour of mid-80s pop at its most graceful and sophisticated. In the band’s frontman Robert Howard (aka Dr. Robert), they possessed a tall, charismatic singer who was both camera-friendly and clever, who appeared to be just as much at ease on the catwalk that is pop’s conveyor belt as he was penning witty, incisive songs. While quite clearly Robert’s band, though, the Blow Monkeys were also gifted three immensely talented musicians in bassist Mick Anker (he of the trademark bowler hat), saxophonist Neville Henry and drummer Tony Kiley. Behind the band’s stylish veneer lay something else, which became increasingly apparent from Robert’s lyrics. While some of the Smash Hits generation avoided politics with a capital P, The Blow Monkeys openly criticised the policies of the Conservative government, railing against social injustices and adopting an openly left-of-centre stance on issues of the day. From openly endorsing the gay community “Digging Your Scene” to an outright attack on Margaret Thatcher ‘Celebrate (The Day After You)’ – a duet with the late, great Curtis Mayfield, The Blow Monkeys were always the thinking person’s pop group. As the 1980s progressed, so too did the band’s musical style, from a sound once dubbed “jazz punk” by Robert to a more soulful, jazzy style and an ever-increasing adoption of dance music. The Blow Monkeys of their rare, indie debut single ‘Live Today Love Tomorrow’ (recorded on a shoestring in 1981) would be barely recognisable to those who bought the Balearic remix of ‘La Passionara’ from 1990. And yet a soulful, spiritually uplifting strain has continued to run through their music – and, indeed, that of Robert’s solo recordings – to this day.

The Jazz Repertory Company Presents: Louis And The Duke

22 Oct 2025 - 22 Oct 2025

In 1932, Louis Armstrong created a sensation when he appeared at the London Palladium. A year later Duke Ellington’s Famous Orchestra became the talk of the town when they topped the bill at the same venue performing such classics as Bugle Call Rag, Black and Tan Fantasy and Mood Indigo. The Midnite Follies will be recreating Duke Ellington’s Famous Orchestra in all its majesty and Enrico Tomasso takes the role of Louis. As a child, Enrico Tomasso played his trumpet for Louis Armstrong and the two of them became great friends. Satchmo’s influence is paramount in Enrico’s style and the spirit of the greatest trumpeter in jazz lives on in his performances. Our show will also include a number of variety acts which intersperse the music (Duke was fourteenth on the bill after an evening of juggling, tumbling, magic and novelty items), and the evening will be presented by our Master of Ceremonies Kerry Shale.

Fifty years after his death, master of light music Leroy Anderson’s charming Piano Concerto receives a rare performance, with Phillip Leslie as the soloist.

Choral at Cadogan 2025: Monteverdi Choir & Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique

2 Oct 2025 - 2 Oct 2025

A thrilling new chapter begins as Jakob Lehmann, one of the most exciting young conductors in historically-inspired performance, makes his debut with the Monteverdi Choir. This concert marks the start of a groundbreaking exploration of Gioachino Rossini’s music on period instruments, offering a fresh perspective on the works of this operatic genius. Rossini’s rarely performed opera Ermione (1819) is one of his best-kept secrets—a vibrant drama set in the aftermath of the Trojan War. The carefully curated sequence of excerpts for this performance showcases dazzling music for soloists, orchestra, and chorus, bringing its emotional intensity to life. Complementing this is Rossini’s passionate Stabat Mater, written much later in his career. Linked thematically to Ermione by the shared motif of motherhood, it juxtaposes Andromache’s grief for her husband Hector and her son in the ruins of Troy, while the Virgin Mary grieves for her son, the crucified Christ. Critics consistently praise Lehmann’s ability to balance technical rigor with expressive freedom, describing his conducting as “precise,” “revelatory,” and “thrilling,” With Lehmann at the helm and the Monteverdi Choir delivering their signature excellence, this promises to be an evening of deep emotion and musical brilliance. Experience Rossini as you’ve never heard him before—alive with historical authenticity and dramatic power. Early booking advised.

The Snowman And The Gruffalo In Concert

20 Dec 2025 - 20 Dec 2025

A regular highlight of Christmas in Chelsea, the Mozart Symphony Orchestra returns to Cadogan Hall for its annual performance of the timeless classic, The Snowman, for which the film is shown on the big screen with live symphony orchestra providing the soundtrack. 16-year-old Alice Mackenzie sings the aria made so famous by Aled Jones: ‘Walking in the Air’. Following the huge success of The Gruffalo (composed for orchestra and narrator by Philip Mackenzie) at Cadogan Hall last Christmas, it makes a welcome return alongside its sequel, The Gruffalo’s Child. Rather like Peter and the Wolf, each character in the tale is represented by a different instrument of the orchestra… what will the Gruffalo be? This concert is the perfect antidote to panto and a wonderful Christmas treat for all the family. This performance is family-friendly. Babes in arms (children up to 2 years of age) are permitted to share a seat with each full-paying adult; children aged two years or more will require a paid ticket and seat. Booster seats are available on request (Stalls only, limited availability on a first-come, first-served basis). (Image © Snowman Enterprises Limited.

Barts Choir

16 Jul 2025 - 17 Jul 2025

An unfinished Requiem by a composer who died young, and a Mass by one enjoying a fruitful maturity – linked by friendship and the consolation, joy and hope that music can bring from personal or national troubles. For all the speculation about the composition of Mozart’s Requiem, it remains one of his defining works into which he poured his most intense inspiration. (It was also one of the first choral works performed by Barts Choir, 60 years young in 2025.) Haydn’s ‘Mass in Troubled Times’, and the name of the naval hero now attached to it, reminds us of the Napoleonic wars then raging in Europe. From the ominous trumpet calls of the opening Kyrie and in the Benedictus, the music turns to joy and hope, with the concluding Dona nobis pacem (“grant us peace”) surely referring not just to the individual soul but to the wider world.

Kensington Symphony Orchestra

30 Jun 2025 - 30 Jun 2025

Kensington Symphony Orchestra is joined by BBC Young Musician finalist Firoze Madon for Rachmaninov’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini (1934). A set of 24 variations on the last of Paganini’s 24 Caprices for Solo Violin, this popular showpiece is most famous for its slow 18th variation which features on numerous film and TV soundtracks. Music director Russell Keable also leads KSO in The Sea and the Seagulls (1911/orch. 1930), Respighi’s orchestration of a piano piece from Rachmaninov’s Études-Tableaux, Op. 33. The concert opens with Anatoly Lyadov’s tone poem Kikimora (1909) which exhibits an exceptional flair for orchestral colour as it tells the story of a monster’s evil plans, and concludes with Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 1 (1924-25), completed when the composer was just 19. Combining tragedy with wit, the work was an immediate success. Critics have since argued that it was influenced by vaudeville music, Stravinsky’s Petrushka, and Richard Strauss.

Beethoven's Pastoral with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra

8 Mar 2026 - 8 Mar 2026

Following the sell-out success of Beethoven’s Fifths, the world-famous Royal Philharmonic Orchestra performs another all-Beethoven programme, this time finding the composer in a more romantic frame of mind. Written during Beethoven’s infatuation with his ‘Immortal Beloved’, the Fourth Piano Concerto flouts convention at virtually every turn. Tender and lyrical, it culminates in a jubilant finale that seems to suggest the composer, endlessly unlucky in matters of the heart, has discovered the joy of life itself. The ‘Pastoral’ Symphony is his love letter to the spirit of nature. Again, wearing his heart on his sleeve, Beethoven fills five highly melodic movements with characteristic touches, a profusion of contrasting ideas following one after another. The movements all bear unambiguously bucolic titles and are (mostly) unashamedly sunny. Opening with the heroic Egmont Overture, this concert is the second in a series of two Sunday afternoon concerts with the RPO.

English Chamber Orchestra: Schumann & Chopin

11 May 2025 - 11 May 2025

Experience the depth of Romantic genius in a breathtaking programme that unites Chopin’s Piano Concerto No. 1 and Schumann’s Symphony No. 3, ‘Rhenish’, two masterpieces brimming with passion, lyricism, and bold orchestral colour. The English Chamber Orchestra is one of the world’s leading chamber orchestras, and this is a wonderful opportunity to luxuriate in a performance full of life, verve, and virtuosity. Award-winning pianist Alon Kariv performs Chopin’s First Piano Concerto, which enchants with its poetic, virtuosic piano lines, soaring over a lush orchestral tapestry. Under the baton of Principal Guest Conductor Roberto Forés Veses, the ECO also performs Schumann’s Third Symphony. Inspired by the grandeur of the Rhine River, the Symphony flows with vibrant energy and profound emotion. A symphony in five movements, which is uncommon, the fourth ‘Feierlich’ is particularly poignant and is notable for its solemn character – Schumann was inspired in this movement by a religious ceremony at Cologne Cathedral. Don’t miss what promises to be a glorious afternoon concert celebrating two classics of the romantic canon.

British Youth Opera: Peter Grimes

6 Jul 2025 - 6 Jul 2025

Whispers, judgments, and accusations swirl around a tight-knit English fishing village. A fisherman’s apprentice is dead and Peter Grimes, the boy’s employer, is in the frame. Benjamin Britten’s landmark opera is the story of a man isolated between the cruel gossip of the local village and the savagery of the open sea. Celebrating 80 years since its premiere, the UK’s national opera training company is pairing up with Cambridge Philharmonic for this semi-staged performance. Established names in the three key roles are joined by the next generation of opera professionals from BYO’s advanced summer programme as well as the Cambridge Philharmonic chorus.

Choral At Cadogan 2025: The Cardinall’s Musick

21 Jul 2025 - 21 Jul 2025

A programme which juxtaposes love for God with love for another person, and considers the emotions and experiences that result. It also features the second performance of Julian Anderson’s stunning madrigal Nothing at all and a rare opportunity to hear some of the Ten Blake Songs written right at the end of Vaughan Williams’ life. Love for God sees Mary Magdalene’s searching for Jesus after his death in Victoria’s six-part masterpiece, and William Byrd’s stubborn and resolute clinging to his Catholic faith in spite of the political and social censure of the times. The ultimate betrayal – Judas handing over Jesus to the authorities – sits at the centre of the second half.

Choral At Cadogan 2025: The Tallis Scholars - The Earth Moves (Spem In Alium)

17 Jun 2025 - 25 Jun 2025

The Tallis Scholars present two of the largest choral works to come from the Renaissance period. Tallis‘ 40-part motet Spem in alium, cast in five eight-part choirs, needs little introduction, but Brumel‘s 12-part ‘Earthquake’ Mass is just now beginning to be recognised for the masterpiece it is. In a musical style all its own, Brumel’s invention never flags, producing across a work which lasts nearly 50 minutes, a kaleidoscope of patterns, textures and rhythmic excitements. Truly a bucket-list piece. Early booking advised.

Choral At Cadogan 2025: The Tallis Scholars - Victoria Requiem

24 Sept 2025 - 24 Sept 2025

Victoria’s six-voice Missa pro defunctis (or Requiem) is one of the greatest choral compositions from any period, creating a mood – contemplative but never despairing – which never lets the listener go. It is difficult to put other music alongside it, but for this programme I decided to introduce it by going big, and largely Flemish. The Gombert and Crecquillon items are scored for eight real voices, not hidden in a double-choir format, but always in play. Clemens’ iconic Ego flos campi is very similar in style, though ‘only’ for seven voices. Nico Muhly’s A Glorious Creature, which was written for us and premiered at our 50th birthday celebration in November 2023, is not so dissimilar in style either, using all our ten voices throughout, and centered on the attributes of the sun. The unusual writing in the text is by the renaissance poet, Thomas Traherne; the complicated rhythms in the music are all the inspiration of the composer. — Peter Phillips, director

Odyssey Festival Orchestra: Ossian’s Shadow

7 May 2025 - 7 May 2025

The spirit of the fake Gaelic poet Ossian inspired a generation of European romantics with the idea of Scotland as a land filled with wild crags, magical caves, ancient castles, melancholy warriors, and neurotic heroines. By the 1830s, his spiritual successor, Sir Walter Scott, had also become a best-selling writer whose poems and novels, often in translation, cemented that impression in the popular imagination. This concert looks at how European composers responded to the glamour and exoticism of the idea of Scotland: from the German Felix Mendelssohn to the Frenchman Hector Berlioz and the Italian opera composers Rossini and Donizetti, including the famous mad scene from the latter’s Lucia di Lammermoor. London’s bold new orchestra, the Odyssey Festival Orchestra, is made up of young pre-professional musicians aged between 18 and 30 and continues to explore the philosophical and cultural context behind classical music’s great masterpieces.

Eddie Izzard: The Remix

13 Sept 2025 - 5 Nov 2025

It’s highly likely that no night will be exactly the same so as ever with Eddie, expect the unexpected. This show promises to be a beautiful, hilarious journey spanning a 35 year career of talking thought provoking, nonsense, who could resist?

The Lark Ascending And Duruflé Requiem

22 Jun 2025 - 22 Jun 2025

Join the City of London Sinfonia and Brighton Festival Chorus, with conductor James Morgan, for a contemplative summer programme. Vaughan Williams’ beautiful Fantasia on Greensleeves is followed by the UK premiere of Libby Croad’s The Brontë Suite – a stunning setting for choir and strings of poetry by each of the three Brontë sisters. We welcome Alexandra Wood to play Vaughan Williams’ The Lark Ascending. Written in the summer of 1914 on the eve of war, it has a poignancy, beauty, and a sense of nostalgia that captures the very essence of reflectiveness and Englishness. After the interval, Duruflé’s greatest composition, his Requiem – one of the undisputed masterpieces of the 20th-century choral repertoire, described as “a work of sumptuous craft, beautiful unity and real grandeur”.

Béla Fleck, Edmar Castañeda, Antonio Sanchez Trio

9 Jul 2025 - 10 Jul 2025

Banjo. Drums. Harp. Huh? To be sure, the new all-star trio of Béla Fleck, harpist Edmar Castañeda, and drummer Antonio Sanchez features instrumentation that might safely be called uncommon. Unless, of course, you’re already familiar with the 18-time Grammy-winner Fleck – the genre-blurring virtuoso who has done more to expand the possibilities of the banjo than any other player in the instrument’s history. From his bluegrass beginnings through his otherworldly Flecktones, his duo with Chick Corea and his reimagining of Rhapsody in Blue, Fleck’s work never fails to surprise. “Fleck is surely the finest banjo player on the planet” The Guardian What doesn’t surprise is the impeccable calibre of his collaborators – and this new trio includes two of the most gifted musicians of their generation. The harpist, Casteñada, hails from Bogotá, Colombia, and has led his own bands in addition to sharing projects with such masters as Hiromi, Paquito D’Rivera and Grégoire Maret. Five-time Grammy-winner Sánchez grew up in Mexico City and built a reputation as one of the great jazz drummers through his work with guitarist Pat Metheny. He’s also been a visionary bandleader, helming progressive groups like Bad Hombre, and collaborated with Chick Corea, Gary Burton, Charlie Haden, Michael Brecker and other giants. His Golden Globe-nominated drum-set score for Alejandro González Iñárritu’s 2014 film Birdman earned him renown far outside the jazz world. Playing original repertoire, much of it collaboratively written, this trio embarks on fearless explorations that audiences will find irresistible – rich with strong melodies, gorgeous harmony and grooves that twist and turn while feeling fantastic.

Here We Go Again

10 May 2025 - 10 May 2025

Chelsea Opera Group: Bellini's La Straniera

1 Jun 2025 - 1 Jun 2025

After their triumph at La Scala, Milan, in 1827 with Il pirata, Vincenzo Bellini and the librettist Felice Romani continued their partnership with La straniera. Their new opera, which had an equally enthusiastic reception at La Scala in 1829, is set in Brittany and centres on Alaide, the ‘foreigner’ of the title, who is a former Queen of France, compelled to live as a recluse. The romantic and dramatic complications arising from the presence of this mysterious figure in the local community make up the opera’s story. Eschewing opportunities for vocal display, Bellini makes powerful use of expressive recitative and ensembles rather than arias to create his effects. This performance offers lovers of bel canto a rare opportunity to hear a strong piece which has fallen into neglect, overshadowed by the masterpieces like Norma and I puritani which followed it. Helena Dix makes a welcome return in the lead role of Alaide. Concert performance in Italian with English surtitles. 4.45pm: Pre-concert talk with Simon Bainbridge.

Tommy Emmanuel

16 Jan 2026 - 24 Jan 2026

Two-time Grammy nominee Tommy Emmanuel is one of Australia’s most respected musicians. The legendary guitarist has a professional career that spans five decades and continues to intersect with some of the finest musicians throughout the world. A household name in his native Australia, Tommy has garnered hundreds of thousands of loyal fans worldwide. Tommy’s unique style – he calls it simply “finger style” – is akin to playing guitar the way a pianist plays piano, using all ten fingers. Rather than using a whole band for melody, rhythm, bass, and drum parts, Tommy plays all that – and more – on one guitar. Guitar legend Chet Atkins was one of the first to inspire Emmanuel to try this “fingerpicker” style as a child. Decades later, Atkins himself became one of Emmanuel’s biggest fans. Tommy Emmanuel is an honorary Kentucky Colonel, a CGP (Certified Guitar Player – a title given by Chet Atkins to only 5 guitarists in the world), an Order of Australia Medalist (AM) and the holder of both an honorary Master’s Degree (MA) and more recently an honorary Doctor of Arts (DR) from Charles Sturt University in Australia in recognition of his commitment to rural Australia and his contribution to music education.

Electoral Dysfunction

20 May 2025 - 20 May 2025

Beth Rigby. Ruth Davidson. Two political powerhouses unite to unravel the spin and explain what’s really going on in Westminster and beyond. Every episode, they will examine politicians, what they stand for and how they sell polices as UK politics enters a new era. Come see them live as they work out which politicians are coming out on top and who is having an Electoral Dysfunction – and what it all actually means for you. Beth Rigby is Sky News’ Political Editor. The first woman ever to hold the position, she is a leading face of the channel covering political news from the heart of Westminster and beyond. Described in the Royal Television Society magazine as the “stand out political broadcaster of our times”, since joining Sky News in 2016 Beth has covered the Brexit referendum, three general elections, the bitter Brexit wars, the Covid pandemic and the ensuing Conservative leadership chaos. Ruth Davidson is a writer, broadcaster and politician. A former leader of the Scottish Conservative Party, Ruth was the first openly gay leader of a political party in the UK. Her electoral success in Scottish and UK elections – along with her leading roles in the Scottish Independence and Brexit referendums (on the side of staying in both wider unions) – resulted in her being named one of Time Magazine’s people of the year. Before politics, Ruth spent a decade as a news journalist, mostly with the BBC, and has written, produced and presented a number of documentaries for radio and television. She currently sits as a Conservative Peer in the House of Lords and occasionally presents on Times Radio, having formerly held her own weekly programme at the station for the last two years. Ruth is a published author, regular newspaper columnist and frequent television commentator.

Les Égarés: Sissoko, Segal, Parisien And Peirani

7 Oct 2025 - 7 Oct 2025

The stellar quartet featuring Ballaké Sissoko (kora), Vincent Segal (cello), Vincent Peirani (accordion) and Émile Parisien (sax), channel a multitude of influences to irresistible effect. Malian musical royalty Ballaké Sissoko has spent many years making records with French cellist Vincent Segal that bring together Manding and European chamber traditions. Meanwhile, Émile Parisien and Vincent Peirani have worked together as a saxophone and accordion duo somewhere in the hinterlands of jazz and folk. In the new album Les Egarés (2023) meaning ‘those who have gone astray’, the two pairs combine and recombine in the art of cross-fertilising sounds and transcending genres. Les Egarés reminds us of the rebelliousness that can be found in a spirit of concord and the extent to which the art of playing together with such fine intelligence can generate an extremely subtle way of lighting a fuse. In Les Egarés, they succeed in reordering the musical landscape to uncover lines of escape of a hitherto unheard beauty. Ballaké Sissoko (kora) Vincent Segal (cello) Vincent Peirani (accordion) Émile Parisien (sax) Presented by Serious. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult

For the first time, Renner will speak on stage about that life-altering event and the transformation that followed. His memoir, My Next Breath, is more than a survival story- it’s an emotional, physical, and spiritual journey of recovery-and rediscovery. He reflects on his childhood, early struggles in Hollywood, fatherhood, and the strength found in vulnerability. A testament to the human spirit, Renner’s story explores identity, resilience, and what it means to live with purpose. His journey resonates with anyone who’s ever asked: What now?

RPO: Alexandra Tirsu plays Prokofiev

4 Mar 2026 - 4 Mar 2026

The young Prokofiev wrote his First Violin Concerto in an age of revolution, but you’d never guess – it’s practically a fairy-tale in sound. And with her ravishing sound and lightning-fast fingers, there’s no more stylish interpreter than the Moldovan violinist Alexandra Tirsu – especially when she’s accompanied by conductor Eun Sun Kim (“a major star” – The New York Times). Lili Boulanger’s vibrant and playful march, written around the same time as the Prokofiev, makes for an energetic opening; meanwhile, Sergei Rachmaninov’s Second Symphony is the orchestral equivalent of a blockbuster movie – a sweeping emotional drama, filled with winter storms, huge sunlit vistas and mile after mile of unforgettable melodies. Is this the ultimate romantic symphony? All we know is that it sounds wonderful, and we can’t wait to share it. “Kim’s precise and picturesque gestures brought colour, drive, dynamic variety and nuance to Rachmaninov.” (Bachtrack)

Rpo: Boris Giltburg Plays Grieg

16 Oct 2025 - 16 Oct 2025

‘Titanic’ was how one critic described the playing of pianist Boris Giltburg, and they didn’t stop there: ‘Giltburg had enormous reserves of firepower – and of musing poetry, too – to open up whole worlds of feeling and imagination.’ Now imagine him bringing all his wizardry to one of the best-loved showpieces of all time – Grieg’s evergreen (and gloriously tuneful) Piano Concerto. With an extra touch of magic from the RPO’s charismatic Conductor-in-Residence Kevin John Edusei, it’s the big heart of a concert that begins in California, with Gabriella Smith’s ingenious musical nature notebook and ends beneath the Northern Lights of Finland, as Sibelius’ mighty Second Symphony grows from tranquil beginnings to a soaring hymn of triumph. Prepare to be swept away. “He made me listen to the music afresh… the whole trajectory of the piece became clearer. The audience’s reaction was fervent and impassioned, and rightly so.” Seen and Heard International on Boris Giltburg RPO Annual Legacy Giving Concert

Rpo: Dvořák, Brahms And Mozart

19 Feb 2026 - 19 Feb 2026

You never know where inspiration will strike. For Dvořák, the sight of a train arriving in Prague station suggested the opening of his Seventh Symphony. Personal tragedy did the rest, and the result is one of the most stirring (and beautiful) of Romantic symphonies: tense, stormy and pounding with emotion. It’s a perfect match for guest conductor Adam Hickox, just as Brahms’ huge, sunlit Second Piano Concerto could have been written for the glorious sound and effortless brilliance of Pavel Kolesnikov – the award-winning piano virtuoso from Siberia who’s made his home in London, dazzling ears and stirring souls whenever he plays. And because genius loves company, it all starts with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart – and the irrepressible overture to the perfect comic opera. “Kolesnikov’s playing combines great emotional intelligence with understated virtuosity: every shift in sonority and mood speaks volumes in interpretations that are consistently striking.” The Guardian

Rpo: Makoto Ozone Plays Gershwin

27 May 2026 - 27 May 2026

A clarinet soars upwards – and immediately, you can picture the skyscrapers of jazz-age Manhattan. There’s nothing quite like Rhapsody in Blue, and few living pianists play Gershwin with more flair than our soloist today, Japanese jazz legend Makoto Ozone. And with RPO Conductor-in-Residence Kevin John Edusei is conducting, there are endless pictures to be painted and stories to be told. High in the mountains of Transylvania, György Ligeti hears a shepherd blow his horn, and gypsy fiddles flash around the campfire. And far from his Hungarian homeland, composed in the USA, Béla Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra sets out to put a great orchestra through its paces and ends up by punching the air with glee. This is music that loves life – and believe us, you can feel it. “…unfailingly inventive and entertaining.” The Scotsman on Makoto Ozone This concert is generously supported by Calderwood.

Rpo: Mendelssohn, Elgar And Wagner

25 Nov 2025 - 25 Nov 2025

“In the evening twilight we went today to the palace were Queen Mary lived and loved,” wrote Felix Mendelssohn from Edinburgh in 1829, after visiting the ruins of Holyrood. “I think I have found there the beginning of my ‘Scottish’ Symphony.” Though much has changed in 196 years, there’s still no more melodious – or poetic – musical portrait of Scotland as seen through the eyes of one of music’s supreme Romantics. Conductor Antony Hermus brings a fresh perspective to Mendelssohn’s highland fling, setting it against the sea spray and howling gales of Wagner’s great musical seascape, and joining the wonderful British contralto Jess Dandy in Elgar’s Sea Pictures – five songs filled with surging waves and surprisingly dark passions. Thought you knew Elgar? Think again… “We were fortunate to have the rare opportunity to hear a true contralto: Jess Dandy’s beautiful, rich voice was captivating.” Bachtrack Kindly supported by The Elgar Society

Rpo: Midori Plays Sibelius

25 Sept 2025 - 25 Sept 2025

Once upon a time, there was a merry rascal named Till Eulenspiegel… With a cheeky horn call and a burst of laughter, the RPO’s new season springs into life. Richard Strauss was music’s master storyteller, and every laugh, tear and punchline of Till’s madcap adventures is crammed into this dazzling score. You can almost sense the seduction in the dizzying waltzes and silken strings of Strauss’ ravishing Suite from Der Rosenkavalier too. But there’s more than one way to tell a tale, and the RPO’s Principal Associate Conductor Alexander Shelley showcases the vibrant colours of Studio Ghibli composer Joe Hisaishi – the man behind Spirited Away and My Neighbour Totoro, and the RPO’s Composer-in-Association – and soars high above the Nordic skies with violin legend Midori, in Sibelius’ elemental Violin Concerto. “Midori unfurled ‘the music as a seamlessly lyrical rainbow – a small miracle of rhythmic precision and crystalline clarity.” The Strad

Rpo: Poulenc's Gloria

11 Nov 2025 - 11 Nov 2025

Sacred music was never meant to be this much fun! “Part monk, part hooligan” was how one contemporary described the French composer Francis Poulenc, and they might have been talking about his Gloria too: a huge, irreverent shout of joy for a great chorus. The City of London Choir joins the RPO and conductor Daniel Hyde to raise the roof today; first, though, there’s another choral blockbuster from France (this time by Lili Boulanger), music reminiscent of a holiday in Provence from the composer of Carmen and Debussy’s beautiful moonlit serenade. We also hear not one but two musical letters from America. Everyone loves the deep emotion of Barber’s Adagio – but when you hear soprano Sally Matthews sing Knoxville, his tender memoir of a vanished youth, we think you’ll fall in love all over again. Her “singing – first eloquent, then hysterical; initially refined, before soaring with an ecstasy wrought from liquid fire – was in a category that ‘virtuosic’ doesn’t begin to cover.” Richard Bratby on Sally Matthews in The Spectator

Rpo: Rachmaninov's Symphony No.1

31 Mar 2026 - 31 Mar 2026

At the age of 22, Rachmaninov had his heart broken. He poured all his ambition and all his emotion into the epic score of his First Symphony, which goes off like a volcano – wild, passionate and positively brimming with inspiration. For many years it was lost, but today conductor Nil Venditti gives this youthful tour de force its due. The Northampton-born composer Edmund Rubbra, meanwhile, was one of the most admired names in post-war British music, but today his radiant Piano Concerto – inspired by the flowers and moods of the English countryside – is a real rarity. Pianist Mark Bebbington has made it his mission to rediscover Britain’s lost masterworks, and this one’s a jewel. You might be about to discover your new favourite piece. “Venditti’s facility for phrasing and for highlighting detail was to the fore, teasing from the orchestra a warm sound and a bright demeanour.” Bachtrack

Rpo: Sir John Rutter Conducts Reflections

9 Apr 2026 - 9 Apr 2026

He’s too modest to admit it, but Sir John Rutter might just be the world’s best-loved living classical composer. Millions have sung his music, millions more have been touched by it: fresh, sincere and written with genuine love, it’s part of all our lives. For the RPO, any chance to work with Sir John is a special occasion, and tonight’s concert is no exception as he conducts the UK premiere of Reflections, a brand new piano concerto which will be performed by British pianist Steven Osborne. That’s the highlight of a concert that features two of Sir John’s favourite American classics – pure uplift – and another, very special treat, as he conducts RPO principal oboe John Roberts in a delightful solo showpiece. Experience musical history in the making. “Tremendous… from first note to last.” The Guardian on Steven Osborne Generously supported by The 1916 Foundation in Montchanin, Delaware.

RPO: Strauss’ Four Last Songs

26 Feb 2026 - 26 Feb 2026

“I am the new Bacchus, pressing out glorious wine for the human spirit”: Ludwig van Beethoven never pulled his punches, but until you’ve heard his Seventh Symphony in full flight, you’ve never known just how intoxicating music can be. That’s just the climax to a whole concert that takes aim straight at the emotions. At the end of a long life, Richard Strauss poured all the colours of the sunset into his heart-rending Four Last Songs – they’re a favourite on Desert Island Discs, and when they’re sung by the glorious voice of soprano Masabane Cecilia Rangwanasha, you’ll understand why. Conductor Kevin John Edusei launches the evening with a vision of beauty from Canadian composer Samy Moussa, inspired by the magnificent landscape of the Caucasus Mountains. “South African soprano Masabane Cecilia Rangwanasha sang with creamy tone, enviable diction and a commanding confidence as she hurled forth a battery of gleaming top notes.” The Guardian

Rpo: Stravinsky's The Firebird - Suite

30 Sept 2025 - 30 Sept 2025

A timeless saga from northern lands, a book of fairy stories with a deliciously French twist, and an adventure beyond your imagination from Igor Stravinsky – a world of dark shadows, dancing demons and glittering colours. Sounds incredible? Just wait until you hear it live with conductor Emilia Hoving and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. That’s the wonder of a great orchestra in full flight; it can take you to extraordinary places. Today, along with pianist Alexandra Dariescu, we’ll take you further as we delve into the musical world of Croatian composer Dora Pejačević, a forgotten genius from the age of Mahler and Ravel. If you enjoy their music, you’ll love this sweeping, deliriously romantic showpiece from the sunset years of the Austro-Hungarian empire. “Phantasie Concertante… sounding a little like Rachmaninov with a modernist twist, gave the soloist Alexandra Dariescu a chance to display pianistic brilliance… Dariescu took all this in her stride.” The Telegraph

Rpo: Tchaikovsky's Symphony No.5

10 Jun 2026 - 10 Jun 2026

Tchaikovsky never held back. He asked for his Fifth Symphony to be performed con desiderio e passione – with desire and passion – and when guest conductor Cornelius Meister joins the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at Cadogan Hall we can promise exactly that. With its heartfelt melodies and blazing colours, we love playing Tchaikovsky’s Fifth as much as you love hearing it, and there’s no more stirring way to finish a season packed with music at its most uninhibited. But that’s not all: the evening opens with a delightful new miniature from Composer-in-Association Joe Hisaishi (Spirited Away). And Clara-Jumi Kang brings all her world-class insight to Britten’s powerful Violin Concerto, written on the eve of World War II. Strong emotions, stunningly played. “The Britten… had a dazzling performer in Clara-Jumi Kang: dedicated, highly expressive and varied.” Bachtrack

Steeleye Span

19 Dec 2025 - 19 Dec 2025

Together for 56 years, Steeleye Span changed the face of folk music forever, introducing it to the world of gold discs and international tours. Now they return with Conflict, their first full studio album in over five years. All traditional singers have sung modern and self-composed pieces alongside old songs, and Conflict is an album that follows in that very tradition. The album’s title was chosen as much to reflect the times in which we find ourselves, but also the stretch and tear of our relationship with this planet that hosts us. As ever – and with such a rich history to choose from – the night will offer a selection of songs from across the years and firm fan favourites. “Don’t miss them…” The Independent

Alan Davies

20 Jun 2025 - 20 Nov 2025

He thinks he’s Marty McFly but he’s older than Doc Brown. He spends more time in the pharmacy than the gym. Subject to relentless eye rolls from his kids. What is he? A late middle-aged stand up on tour for the first time in a decade. Funnier than ever, he says. Alan Davies is a critically acclaimed stand-up comedian, actor, writer, and TV personality. He is a staple of British television, known for his performance as the eponymous hero of David Renwick’s hugely popular, long-running TV series Jonathan Creek, and as a permanent panelist on QI.

His stand-up show Urban Trauma ran in London’s West End and Life is Pain and Little Victories sold out in venues across the UK.

Mullova Plays Mozart

4 Nov 2025 - 4 Nov 2025

Internationally acclaimed violinist Viktoria Mullova makes her eagerly awaited debut with The Mozartists in two of Mozart’s most popular concertos. This programme of works composed in 1775 continues Ian Page’s highly acclaimed MOZART 250 series which follows Mozart’s life, work and influences in chronological sequence across a 27-year span, and it also features an infectiously exuberant and beautifully crafted symphony by Haydn and a typically zany symphony by C.P.E. Bach.

Opera In 1775

17 Sept 2025 - 17 Sept 2025

The Mozartists’ ground-breaking MOZART 250 series continues with this revelatory selection from operas that were being performed 250 years ago in 1775. Highlights from Mozart’s serenely effervescent Il re pastore include the exquisite ‘L’amerò, sarò costante’ and the infectiously joyful finale, ‘Viva l’invitto Duce’, and the programme also contains an idyllic trio from Haydn’s ‘Turkish’ opera and a scintillatingly virtuosic aria from J.C. Bach’s Lucio Silla. Also included are modern-day premieres of arias from the two operas that were commissioned alongside Mozart’s 1775 operas: Antonio Tozzi’s Orfeo ed Euridice opened in Munich a few days before Mozart’s La finta giardiniera, while Gli orti esperidi by Domenico Fischietti (who three years earlier had been controversially appointed as Kapellmeister in Salzburg) was the main commission for the royal visit for which Mozart’s Il re pastore was also written. An outstanding line-up of young singers is headed by soprano Ava Dodd and tenor Hugo Brady, who both starred in The Mozartists’ acclaimed performance of La finta giardiniera at Cadogan Hall in March, and Mozart specialist Ian Page conducts his award-winning period-instrument orchestra. 6.15pm: Pre-concert talk Conductor Ian Page gives a talk discussing the evening’s repertoire (in the auditorium, free to ticket holders).

George Monbiot Meets Ian Mcewan

18 Sept 2025 - 18 Sept 2025

Join Ian McEwan and George Monbiot for a celebration of the extraordinary tenacity of the human spirit and a journey into a climate-ravaged future where all is not quite lost. Since his immediate rise to literary acclaim 50 years ago for his taut, unflinching short stories about love and desire, to his latest voyages into the uncharted territories of climate change and AI, one thing has remained consistent across Ian McEwan’s astonishing oeuvre: the precision with which he can dissect both the mysteries of the human psyche and the tribulations of our age. Now he joins George Monbiot to reveal What We Can Know: a fictional tour de force that reclaims the present from our looming sense of catastrophe and asks profound questions about who we are and where we are going. 2014: A great poem is read aloud and never heard again. For generations, people have speculated about its message, but no copy has yet been found. 2119: The lowlands of the UK have been submerged by rising seas. Those who survive are haunted by the richness of the world that has been lost. Tom Metcalfe, an academic at the University of the South Downs, part of Britain’s remaining island archipelagos, pores over the archives of that distant era, captivated by the freedoms and possibilities of human life at its zenith. When he stumbles across a clue that may lead to a lost poem, a story is revealed of entangled loves and a crime that destroys his assumptions about people he thought he knew intimately well. Don’t miss this exclusive conversation between Britain’s foremost environmental activist and its most distinguished novelist as they explore love, loss, survival, the life of the artist and the power of literature in the face of climate breakdown. Ian McEwan is the critically acclaimed author of 17 novels and two short-story collections. His first published work, a collection of short stories, First Love, Last Rites, won the Somerset Maugham Award. His novels include The Child in Time, which won the 1987 Whitbread Novel of the Year Award; The Cement Garden; Enduring Love; Amsterdam, which won the 1998 Booker Prize; Atonement; Saturday; On Chesil Beach; Solar; Sweet Tooth; The Children Act; Nutshell; Machines Like Me, which was a number-one bestseller, and Lessons. Atonement, Enduring Love, The Children Act and On Chesil Beach have all been adapted for the big screen. All tickets to this event include a copy of Ian McEwan’s new novel What We Can Know (RRP £22). There will be a post-event book signing in the main foyer.
