Philharmonia online
Behind every piece of music and every musician lies a story. The Philharmonia Orchestra leads the field in telling those stories online, producing high-quality content praised for its distinctiveness, depth and accessibility.

Filmed content
Our thriving YouTube channel features dozens of releases each year, created by our skilled in-house team. Our focus on storytelling opens up the world of orchestral music to current and future audiences. We film on location to uncover the contexts in which music is created; performers, conductors and composers share their insights into the music they love; and our players present in-depth guides to the instruments of the orchestra.
Our channel gets over 4 million views a year and fosters an active community of music enthusiasts, now numbering over 155,000 subscribers.
You can view all of our films on our YouTube channel.
