Welcome to Cadogan Hall’s 11th Zurich International Orchestra Series, in association with IMG Artists.

Our series is now regarded as the largest and most comprehensive series of international orchestras in the country and this year we’re delighted to welcome 14 distinguished orchestras from throughout Europe and Russia.

With such iconic names as the Mariinsky Orchestra and Valery Gergiev, the Brussels Philharmonic and Stéphane Denève, the SWR Symphony Orchestra Stuttgart under Sir Roger Norrington and the Dresden Philharmonic conducted by Michael Sanderling, our concerts feature some of the most sought-after conductors in the world today.

Our soloists are an exceptional list this year, featuring three of the greatest violinists of the day – James Ehnes, Arabella Steinbacher and Nicolaj Znaider, and four of the most popular and highly regarded British pianists – John Lill, Barry Douglas, Stephen Hough and Peter Donohoe. These outstanding orchestras, conductors and soloists will provide us with a rich feast of music written from Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert’s day to works of the 20th and 21st centuries, including the complete cycle of Beethoven’s Piano Concertos.
