Philharmonia Orchestra

An unforgettable evening with Nobuyuki Tsujii and Xian Zhang at the Royal Festival Hall! 🔥🎶

Making his much-anticipated return to the Philharmonia, extraordinary pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii (or Nobu to his fans) blew audiences away with a virtuosic performance of Shostakovich's Piano Concerto No. 2.

Xian Zhang led the Orchestra in Ngwenyama’s shimmering Primal Message, before bringing all the passion and drama of Prokofiev's Romeo & Juliet to life. 💔🎶

Missed Nobu in concert? No problem. Catch him this Sunday at Soho Theatre Walthamstow with the Philharmonia Chamber Players! 🎹🎶

The Interstellar Suite with Organist Anna Lapwood! 🧑‍🚀🙌

Twelve years ago today, after Christopher Nolan's premiere of blockbuster film Interstellar, Hans Zimmer's critically acclaimed soundtrack is still seen as a masterclass of composition.

Seen here in rehearsals at the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg, back in September for our Europe tour with Anna Lapwood and conductor Kerem Hasan, the Orchestra perform an excerpt from the beloved piece "Cornfield Chase". 🎶

Did you know? In 2022, Hans Zimmer cited the Interstellar soundtrack as the best work of his career. We can understand why!

What better way to round off the first half than with Kapustin's Concert Etude No. 1? 🙌🎶

Featured Artist Nobuyuki Tsujii treated us to not one, but two encores following his performance of Shostakovich's Piano Concerto No. 2 last night. 🤩🎹

Here he is, bringing a burst of jazz-inspired energy to the Royal Festival Hall in London as he performs the first of Kapustin's eight fiendishly challenging Concert Etudes.
