Philharmonia Orchestra 2009/10

The Philharmonia Orchestra's 2009/10 London season will see the Orchestra performing 38 matinee and main evening concerts at Royal Festival Hall, together with a number of small ensemble performances as part of its acclaimed Music of Today series. The Philharmonia's Principal Conductor and Artistic Advisor, Esa-Pekka Salonen, concludes his nine-month exploration of the music and culture of Vienna between 1900 and 1935, City of Dreams, with a semi-staged performance of Berg’s operatic tour-de-force, Wozzeck, with Simon Keenlyside in the title role (8 October); as well as leading the Orchestra in the UK premiere of a new work for chorus and orchestra by Magnus Lindberg (1 October); and conducting music by Bartók, Janáček, Stravinsky, Berlioz, Sibelius and George Benjamin, the latter as part of the composer’s 50th birthday celebrations.

Other highlights include the Philharmonia’s 65th Birthday Gala on 30 March 2010, conducted by Riccardo Muti; a Rachmaninov Piano Cycle performed by Nikolai Lugansky (November-March); a special performance marking Christoph von Dohnányi’s 80th Birthday (22 October); a Prokofiev/Tchaikovsky Series conducted by Yuri Temirkanov (24-29 June); and concerts conducted by Lorin Maazel (December) and Kurt Masur (February).

The cream of the younger generation of conductors is also represented, with performances led by Andris Nelsons, Stéphane Denève, Kirill Karabits and Vasily Petrenko. In April 2010 the Philharmonia presents a screening of Waterloo, the epic film realisation of the Battle of Waterloo, with live orchestral soundtrack.
