About
Official Site: http://www.philharmonia.co.uk/The Philharmonia Orchestra is one of the world’s great orchestras. Acknowledged as the UK’s foremost musical pioneer, with an extraordinary recording legacy, the Philharmonia leads the field for its quality of playing, and for its innovative approach to audience development, residencies, music education and the use of new technologies in reaching a global audience. Together with its relationships with the world’s most sought-after artists, most importantly its Principal Conductor Christoph von Dohnányi, the Philharmonia Orchestra is at the heart of British musical life. Today, the Philharmonia has the greatest claim of any orchestra to be the UK’s National Orchestra. It is committed to presenting the same quality, live music-making in venues throughout the country as it brings to London and the great concert halls of the world. In 2005/06 the Orchestra is performing more than 200 concerts, as well as presenting chamber performances by the Soloists of the Philharmonia Orchestra, and recording scores for films, CDs and computer games. 2005 marked not only the Orchestra’s 60th Anniversary, but also the 10th Anniversary of its much admired UK and International Residency Programme, which began in 1995 with the launch of its residencies at the Bedford Corn Exchange and London’s South Bank Centre and now also incorporates partnerships in Leicester, Basingstoke and Canterbury. The Orchestra’s extensive touring schedule this season also includes appearances at its prestigious European residency venues, the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris and the Concertgebouw in Bruges, as well as at more than twenty of the finest international concert halls. |
