We are saddened to hear of the untimely passing of Sir Andrew Davis, a hugely respected musician, and a very kind and genuine human being. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra sends deepest sympathies and condolences to Sir Andrew’s family.
On Thursday 11 April the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra continued its Icons Rediscovered series at Southbank Centre's Royal Festival Hall with Rachmaninov's 'The Bells' symphony, sung by the Philharmonia Chorus and soloists Mirjam Mesak, Pavel Petrov and Andrii Kymach, and also featured BSL artist Dr Paul Whittaker OBE. It was accompanied by Elgar's In the South (Alassio) and Mieczysław Weinberg's Cello Concerto, performed by soloist Sheku Kanneh-Mason. Music Director Vasily Petrenko led the orchestra and 80-voice choir, soloists for what was a truly moving experience.
For the 2024–25 Season, we are delighted to welcome acclaimed Swedish-Norwegian violinist Johan Dalene as our Artist-in-Residence. Winner of the prestigious Carl Nielsen International Competition in 2019 and Gramophone’s 2022 Young Artist of the Year, he combines dazzling virtuosity with an engaging stage presence and his passionate performances are not to be missed.
