Opening Festival
Concerts from world-class artists and our key partners begin our classical year
Classical music returns with our Resident Orchestras, the launch of new artist residencies and the first in a series for families.
Join us for opening concerts from Resident Orchestras London Philharmonic Orchestra and Philharmonia Orchestra, led by new Principal Conductors in their first concerts.
We also welcome the first of a series of new artist residencies, starting with pianist Víkingur Ólafsson and groundbreaking ensemble Manchester Collective, and the first of a series for families starting with a musical journey around our site with The Multi-Story Orchestra.
