Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO)

For more than seven decades the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO) has been at the forefront of music-making in the UK. Its home base since 2004 at London’s Cadogan Hall serves as a springboard for seven principal residencies as well as more than forty-five concerts per year in long-term partnership venues across the country, often in areas where access to live orchestral music is very limited.

With a wider reach than any other UK large ensemble, the RPO has truly become Britain’s national orchestra.
