The Philharmonia is a world-class symphony orchestra for the 21st century, led by Principal Conductor & Artistic Advisor Esa-Pekka Salonen.
Based in London at Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall, and usually performing across the world, we are currently active only digitally due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
