Royal Philharmonic Orchestra 2018-19 Resident Season

Royal Philharmonic Orchestra 2018-19 Resident Season

Welcome to the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra’s (RPO) 2018-19 season at Cadogan Hall. We invite you to join us to experience a varied programme of orchestral music in the immersive and intimate surroundings of our Resident Home at Cadogan Hall.

To open the season, the RPO welcomes back its first-ever Artist-in-Residence Esther Yoo to perform the first of two concertos (September and November) and to close the season in June we introduce our 2019 Artist-in-Residence, cellist Kian Soltani. British conductor Mark Wigglesworth makes his debut with the RPO in a quintessentially English programme (April), and the Orchestra introduces to London the fiery talents of a new generation of artists such as Mariam Batsashvili (November), Alpesh Chauhan (June) and Cristian Măcelaru (June).

See details of the RPO’s 2019-20 resident season at Cadogan Hall.
