Who we are

The Philharmonia is a self-governing orchestra. Our world-class players own the Orchestra and are at the centre of its creativity.

Meet Esa-Pekka Salonen, Santtu-Matias Rouvali and the artists who shape the Philharmonia’s programme and performances.

We work around the world, giving concerts, making recordings, reaching new audiences and pushing the boundaries of digital technology.

Founded in 1945, the Philharmonia has worked with a who’s who of twentieth century music.

We undertake a wide range of projects with commercial partners.
