Royal Philharmonic Orchestra 2022-23 season

Royal Philharmonic Orchestra 2022-23 season

‘They say that there’s “no place like home”, and that’s certainly how we feel about the intimate atmosphere and rich acoustic of Cadogan Hall, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra‘s resident home.

‘For our 2022–23 season at Cadogan Hall, we welcome an inspiring line-up of conductors and soloists to collaborate on something of a musical adventure, with pieces that will tell intriguing stories, explore magical worlds and stir the senses.

‘We have highly anticipated return visits by Principal Associate Conductor Alexander Shelley, Anu Tali and Jac van Steen, plus exciting debuts from conductors Shiyeon Sung, Roderick Cox, Adam Hickox, Gemma New and Anna-Maria Helsing.

‘As well as our 2022–23 Artist-in-Residence Isata Kanneh-Mason, an outstanding collection of soloists will take centre-stage, including Jennifer Pike, Narek Hakhnazaryan, Shunta Morimoto and Rosanne Philippens, and our collaboration with the City of London Choir continues with an exploration of music by Vaughan Williams and Ravel.

‘We look forward to sharing another season of great live orchestral music with you.’

James Williams
(Managing Director of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra)
