Philharmonia Festival in Leicester
Join the Philharmonia Orchestra to celebrate our 80th birthday! This Spring, we’re marking our anniversary in each of our four residencies with a day of activity for you to get involved in: try out our virtual reality experience and fun activities in the Highcross Centre, listen to pop-up performances across town and attend a pre-concert talk, all before our evening concert in De Montfort Hall.
Where can you find us?
Join us for pop-up performances at…
Haymarket Shopping Centre, 11am
Phoenix Cinema Cafe, 11.15am
Leicester Central Library, 12.45pm
LCB Depot, 1.30pm & 3pm
Have you ever tried a virtual reality experience?
Try the Virtual Orchestra from 11am until 4pm at the Highcross Centre – put on a headset and experience the music from the best seat in the house: right in the middle of the orchestra!
From 1.30pm at the Harpur Suite, watch the young musicians of Bedford Music Service play side-by-side with Philharmonia players.
Get behind the music: hear from conductor Ryan Bancroft about the evening’s concert – 6pm at De Montfort Hall.
And if you’ve still got room for more, join us at our 7pm concert. Read one of our flyers on the day, and you might find a surprise discount…
