Royal Philharmonic Orchestra 2026-27 season

Welcome to our 2026–27 season of concerts at Cadogan Hall

As the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO) turns 80, we’re in the mood for a celebration. Whilst the milestone allows us to reflect on the Orchestra’s glorious history, it is also an invitation for an exciting future. We’ve got a lot of stories to tell, and great music never gets old. Cadogan Hall is a place where music feels more direct, more intimate, more personal, and whether we’re bringing favourite pieces to life, premiering the classics of the future or welcoming our Music Director Vasily Petrenko, we draw our energy and inspiration from performing for you.

Sarah Bardwell
Managing Director, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
