Sunday Matinees

Spend your Sunday afternoon with 80 of the most talented people in London. Take your seat in Royal Festival Hall to enjoy the incredible sound of the Philharmonia Orchestra and some of the world’s greatest classical music.  

Our Sunday Matinees give you plenty of time to join friends for a meal before or after the concert, and there’s no need to worry about missing the last train home. They’re also a great way of introducing children and young people to the experience of hearing an orchestra live – we recommend our concerts for ages 7+.  

In our 80th birthday season, you can enjoy beloved symphonies by Shostakovich, Sibelius and Tchaikovksy, Marin Alsop conducting a programme pairing music from Star Wars with Holsts’s The Planets, Bruce Liu playing Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G, Nicola Benedetti playing Elgar’s Violin Concerto, and more.
