Zurich International Orchestra Series 2025-26

Zurich International Orchestra Series 2025-26

Cadogan Hall is where London meets the musical world – the welcoming art-nouveau venue that’s become a home-from-home for orchestras from Europe and beyond. Here in our historic concert hall, music feels close enough to touch, and we invite you to savour the difference as the 2025-26 Zurich International Orchestra Series brings seven great international ensembles to London.

“It is a treat every year, with Cadogan Hall’s acoustics making it even more special” The Guardian

The Brno Philharmonic celebrates a great heritage and an exciting future, with music by Janáček and Philip Glass. There’s Rodrigo from Spain, Liszt from Hungary, and Chopin from Warsaw, as well as classics that transcend all boundaries – the National Orchestra of Ukraine will play two of Beethoven’s most universal masterpieces. And with soloists including Alexandra Dariescu, Paul Lewis and Jennifer Pike, each concert is a true meeting of musical minds, right here in the heart of Chelsea.

They say music is an international language: join us, and let it speak to you.

Managing Director, Cadogan Hall
