Philharmonia Chamber Players: Relaxed performance

Programme

Come and listen to a selection of short pieces, some familiar and some new, performed by a small group of Philharmonia musicians and introduced by the players.

The programme opens with the warm, lyrical textures of Richard Strauss’s Capriccio Sextet, a radiant prelude to his final opera. From there, we move to the serene spirituality of Anton Bruckner’s Os Justi, a work that glows with purity and grace. Finally, we celebrate the youthful brilliance of Felix Mendelssohn with his String Symphony No. 7, full of energy and sparkling invention.

You can move around, make some noise, sing or dance, go in and out of the auditorium if you need to, and clap whenever you feel like it.

Our Relaxed Performance (RP) is designed to be welcoming for people of all ages, including young children, people living with dementia or other neurological conditions, sensory differences or anxiety, and those on the autism spectrum.

It’s also perfect if you just want to pop in to find out what it’s like to hear some of the world’s most skilled musicians performing live.
