Center Presents
Royal Philharmonic Orchestra with Ray Chen
Payne & Mencias Palladium // Friday, Jan 30, 8pm ET
Founded in 1946, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra is recognized as the U.K.’s most in-demand orchestra, with a busy schedule of national and international performances. The RPO also enjoys an annual season of concerts in London’s Royal Albert Hall, where it is Associate Orchestra; the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall; and Cadogan Hall, where it recently celebrated its 20th season as Resident Orchestra. Vasily Petrenko was named Music Director in 2021. This program of Nielsen, Tchaikovsky and Sibelius will feature rising violin star Ray Chen, who delighted the local audience with his April 2024 performance.
