Throughout the Philharmonia’s 80th birthday year, the orchestra explores some big questions around music and identity. 

Ahead of this evening’s concert Gilbert & George: Sex, Money, Race, Religion live, join speakers from the music world and beyond for the opening debate, as we unpack the theme of the Philharmonia’s season.  Look out for more in-depth discussion on music and gender, sexuality, politics and culture over the coming months.
