Philharmonia debates…

Throughout our 80th birthday season, we explore some big questions around music and identity – come and have your say.  

Music isn’t just something we perform or something we listen to. It reflects our tastes, our personality and our very identity. So how do composers, performers, listeners, and orchestras forge their own identities through music? Which forces have defined us, and which new concepts will influence our future?  

Experts from the music world and beyond give their take on each topic, and then encourage discussion in small groups.  

These sessions are free, but you need to book a ticket.
