2024/25 Leicester season

We return to De Montfort Hall for five concerts with a star-studded line-up of performers.

Santtu-Matias Rouvali conducting the Philharmonia at De Montfort Hall, Leicester

We perform two Tchaikovsky symphonies this season, plus beloved works by Strauss, Shostakovich, and Schubert.

Hear three inspiring pianists: acclaimed soloist Lise de la Salle, Grammy Award-winning Michelle Cann, and young star Jeneba Kanneh-Mason.

Our Principal Conductor Santtu-Matias Rouvali returns to Leicester twice this season. In December, he’s joined by saxophonist Jess Gillam in music by Glazunov and Tchaikovsky. And in April, he joins forces with charismatic violinist Nemanja Radulović – our Featured Artist this season.
