The story of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra is coulourful and dramatic with a reputation worldwide for music-making of the highest quality. In 1946 Sir Thomas Beecham set out to create a world-class ensemble from the finest musicians in the country. Beecham envisioned an orchestra that would bring the greatest music to audiences across the world and, to this day, Beecham s legacy lives on through the RPO. Over the years, the RPO has become a byword for exceptional quality and versatility, undertaking a diverse range of activities from performances with internationally-acclaimed solo artists in concert halls to classical spectaculars and cross-over concerts in pop arenas, as well as community and education projects. The Orchestra is London-based and performs regularly at the Royal Albert, Royal Festival and Cadogan halls. It uses its schedule in the capital as a springboard for the comprehensive regional Touring programme around the UK. Internationally, the Orchestra undertakes a busy schedule with regular performances in Europe and tours to destinations including the USA, Mexico, Egypt and China.
