In 2016, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra celebrates 70 years at the forefront of music-making in the UK, performing a wide range of repertoire to more people than ever.

In celebration of its platinum year, the Orchestra presents an iconic trio of outstanding artists on one stage in an evening of thrilling classical masterpieces. Charles Dutoit, Artistic Director and Principal Conductor, is joined by the phenomenal violinist and Principal Guest Conductor Pinchas Zukerman, and legendary pianist Martha Argerich.

Funds raised at this concert will go towards the support and development of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra’s community and education programme RPO Resound, which often runs events at the Royal Albert Hall in collaboration with the Hall’s own Education and Outreach team.
