Zurich International Orchestra Series 2026-27

Welcome to the Zurich International Orchestra Series 2026-27.

Cadogan Hall is where London meets the musical world – and in 2026–27, the Zurich International Orchestra Series welcomes outstanding orchestras from Belgium to Czechia, Kyiv to Taipei. Each orchestra arrives with its own story and tradition, heard in the way it plays and in the music it chooses to share.

Across the season, themes appear: two Brahms symphonies, the last two by Dvořák with his much-loved Cello Concerto, two of the 19th century’s most popular concertos – Bruch’s for violin and Tchaikovsky’s for piano – and Mendelssohn’s vivid musical souvenirs from his travels in Scotland. There is the elegance and poise of three Mozart concertos, set against the sweep and drama of large-scale orchestral works by Holst, Rachmaninov and Richard Strauss, all brought to life by a superb line-up of conductors and soloists.

Whether you are drawn to prestigious visiting orchestras, to music you already love, or to the thrill of discovering something new, we look forward to welcoming you to our distinctive, intimate hall, moments from Sloane Square, Chelsea.

Adam McGinlay
Managing Director, Cadogan Hall
