Zurich International Orchestra Series 2023-24

We are delighted to welcome you to the Zurich International Orchestra Series 2023-24 at Cadogan Hall, where celebrated international orchestras and artists reunite with concert-going audiences in the nation’s capital. This series celebrates the finest musical talent from around the world, with orchestras hailing from Hungary to China, Ukraine to India. Cadogan Hall truly is where the world comes to play.

World-renowned familiar faces including Miloš Karadaglić, Pierre-Laurent Aimard, Angela Hewitt, Zakir Hussain, and Pavel Kolesnikov, to name but a few, feature throughout. There is a diverse array of music waiting to be explored, and we are eager to accompany you on this thrilling journey.

We hope you enjoy browsing the season, and we look forward to welcoming you to Cadogan Hall for unforgettable experiences over the coming months.

‘The Zurich International series at Cadogan Hall has turned into a horizon-expanding stage on which to catch those visiting orchestras that don’t always claim top billing in bigger venues. The Hall’s welcoming acoustic shows off the sound and style of its guests as the grander barns might never do.’ (TheArtsDesk.com)
