Founded in 1945, the Philharmonia Orchestra is one of the world’s
great orchestras.
Finnish conductor Santtu-Matias Rouvali took up the baton as
Principal Conductor in 2021, and Marin Alsop joined him as Principal Guest

Otto Klemperer, Ricardo Muti, Giuseppe Sinopoli, Christoph von Dohnányi,
Vladimir Ashkenazy and Esa-Pekka Salonen are some of the key figures who have
honed the renowned Philharmonia sound over eight decades.
The Philharmonia tours
extensively throughout Europe and has performed in China, Colombia, Japan,
Mauritius and the United States. In October 2025 the Orchestra embarks on a
major US tour, culminating in two performances at Carnegie Hall. The season
also includes a tour of Korea, and performances at the Concertgebouw in
Amsterdam, the Musikverein in Vienna, and many other leading European venues.
The Philharmonia Records label
was established in 2023. The Orchestra has released live recordings of major
works by Strauss, Mahler, Stravinsky, and Shostakovich, with Santtu at the
helm.
