Once upon a time, there was a merry rascal named Till Eulenspiegel... With a cheeky horn call and a burst of laughter, the RPO’s new season springs into life. Richard Strauss was music’s master storyteller, and every laugh, tear and punchline of Till’s madcap adventures is crammed into this dazzling score. You can almost sense the seduction in the dizzying waltzes and silken strings of Strauss’ ra

A timeless saga from northern lands, a book of fairy stories with a deliciously French twist, and an adventure beyond your imagination from Igor Stravinsky - a world of dark shadows, dancing demons and glittering colours. Sounds incredible? Just wait until you hear it live with conductor Emilia Hoving and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
That’s the wonder of a great orchestra in full flight;

'Titanic’ was how one critic described the playing of pianist Boris Giltburg, and they didn’t stop there: 'Giltburg had enormous reserves of firepower - and of musing poetry, too - to open up whole worlds of feeling and imagination.’ Now imagine him bringing all his wizardry to one of the best-loved showpieces of all time - Grieg’s evergreen (and gloriously tuneful) Piano Concerto.
With an ext

Sacred music was never meant to be this much fun! "Part monk, part hooligan" was how one contemporary described the French composer Francis Poulenc, and they might have been talking about his Gloria too: a huge, irreverent shout of joy for a great chorus.
The City of London Choir joins the RPO and conductor Daniel Hyde to raise the roof today; first, though, there’s another choral blockbuster

"In the evening twilight we went today to the palace were Queen Mary lived and loved," wrote Felix Mendelssohn from Edinburgh in 1829, after visiting the ruins of Holyrood. "I think I have found there the beginning of my 'Scottish’ Symphony." Though much has changed in 196 years, there’s still no more melodious - or poetic - musical portrait of Scotland as seen through the eyes of one of music’s s

You never know where inspiration will strike. For Dvo?ák, the sight of a train arriving in Prague station suggested the opening of his Seventh Symphony. Personal tragedy did the rest, and the result is one of the most stirring (and beautiful) of Romantic symphonies: tense, stormy and pounding with emotion.
It’s a perfect match for guest conductor Adam Hickox, just as Brahms’ huge, sunlit Secon

The young Prokofiev wrote his First Violin Concerto in an age of revolution, but you’d never guess - it’s practically a fairy-tale in sound. And with her ravishing sound and lightning-fast fingers, there’s no more stylish interpreter than the Moldovan violinist Alexandra Tirsu - especially when she’s accompanied by conductor Eun Sun Kim ("a major star" - The New York Times ).
