The Philharmonia Orchestra is proud to be recognised as a truly international orchestra, known across the UK and the world for outstanding concerts, innovative projects and unmatched quality in the recording studio.

We undertake a wide range of projects with commercial partners and are happy to consider proposals both for collaboration and commercial hire.

The Philharmonia could be available for hire for:

  • Events
  • Concerts
  • Film soundtrack recording
  • Game soundtrack recording
  • Commercial audio recording

“The great thing about working with an orchestra like this is because they play together all the time, they sort of move as one. It brings a humanity and emotion to what they do. We used them for every episode, and when you’re that familiar you find yourself writing for certain players that you know will play a certain way.”
