Hard Rock Hallelujah: Philharmonia x Heavy Metal All-Stars
Artists
Santtu-Matias Rouvali – conductor
Plus special guests
Epic. Loud. Flamboyant. Classical music and heavy metal have more in common than you might think. Drawing inspiration from Metal’s industrial roots, the 100-strong Philharmonia Orchestra brings its powerful sound to some of the biggest pieces of orchestral music ever composed – think Wagner’s ‘Ride of the Valkyries’ – and orchestral versions of heavy metal anthems. Principal Conductor Santtu-Matias Rouvali taps into his past as a rock drummer for a performance that brings together the defiant and often iconoclastic energy of two extraordinary musical forms. Leather jackets optional.
Full details will be announced and tickets will go on sale in autumn 2025, as part of the Southbank Centre’s Multitudes festival.
