The Philharmonia Orchestra's residency at the Marlowe in Canterbury is the first by a major symphony orchestra in Kent, performing six concerts each year, and three Insight Talks.

In 2019/20, highlights include Santtu-Matias Rouvali returning to start the season with Tchaikovsky's ever-popular Swan Lake, Carl Davis conducting a night of James Bond classics, and Joana Carneiro closing our season with a programme including Bernstein’s West Side Story.
