The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra has returned to the USA this January for a winter tour with our Music Director Vasily Petrenko, featuring Isata Kanneh-Mason and more special guests.
On 29 October 2023, we were thrilled to welcome a group to our Icons Rediscovered: Elgar’s Symphony No.1 concert at the Southbank Centre with Vasily Petrenko. They were taking part in Creative Playground Crawley’s ‘Come With Us’ project - an initiative which encourages Crawley locals to "experience new things" by joining the Creative Playground staff in attending shows, exhibitions and creative events in Crawley, Brighton, London and other places in Sussex and Surrey.
