The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO), founded in 1946 by Sir Thomas Beecham, is one of the United Kingdom's premier orchestras, delighting audiences worldwide with its versatile and high-caliber performances. Set apart by its royal charter since its early days, the RPO has been based in London's Cadogan Hall since 2004, following a storied history of performances in the capital's grandest venues. Throughout its existence, the orchestra has kept an unwavering commitment to reaching a diverse audience, both in its home country and internationally, through tours and recordings.

With an adventurous foray into a broad range of musical genres, the RPO's recent recordings reflect its expansive repertoire. From the thematic "Space - Exploration and Discovery" exploring cosmic wonders through music, to a deep dive into animation scores with "A Symphonic Celebration - Music from the Studio Ghibli Films of Hayao Miyazaki," the orchestra exhibits a unique versatility. The RPO also continues to honor the grand tradition of classical music, bringing fresh interpretations to the works of masters such as Chopin, Liszt, Mozart, and Elgar, as captured in albums like "Chopin and Liszt: Piano Brilliance" and "Royal Philharmonic Orchestra plays Edward Elgar." This balance between traditional classical and themed, accessible projects has helped the Royal Philharmonic maintain its esteemed place in the fabric of global music culture.
