Philharmonia to return to live music-making at the Southbank Centre in June

Commenting on the return of the Philharmonia to live music-making, Alexander Van Ingen, Chief Executive of the Philharmonia Orchestra, said: ‘We are hugely excited to return to our home at the Southbank Centre for these two concerts for a real, live audience. It is bittersweet that after 13 glorious years, Esa-Pekka will be finishing his tenure as Principal Conductor at the end of a Season that wasn’t as we originally planned it. And yet, two wonderful programmes with Yefim Bronfman and Mitsuko Uchida are a superb way of marking the occasion with as many people as are allowed in the Royal Festival Hall, and before Esa-Pekka takes up his new role as the Philharmonia’s Conductor Emeritus.’

But it takes a certain amount of foresight or maybe simple good luck for someone to have a sideline in virology when a viral epidemic suddenly breaks out. Someone, say, like Mark Almond, the San Francisco Symphony’s new associate principal French horn player. Almond officially started his job at the beginning of September, but because of the coronavirus, chances to actually perform have been scarce. The orchestra’s live concerts are canceled through next summer, leaving only one-off projects such as the recent “Throughline” broadcast.
