Royal Philharmonic Orchestra 2019-20 Resident Season

Royal Philharmonic Orchestra 2019-20 Resident Season

Welcome to the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra’s (RPO) 2019-20 series at our Resident Home of Cadogan Hall. We hope you will join us on a journey through a wide range of orchestral music, brought to you by some of the greatest musicians working today.

RPO Preludes is a series of chamber concerts curated and performed by musicians from the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. These 30-minute concerts take place on stage at Cadogan Hall before the main concerts begin at 7.30pm. The series provides a unique opportunity not only to listen to some astounding chamber music but also to hear the RPO musicians in a more intimate and personal setting.

RPO Preludes are free to attend if you have booked for the evening concert, otherwise they are £10 per Prelude.
