Click for Seat Plan  The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO), based in London, offers audiences in the UK and abroad the highest possible standards of music making, accompanied by some of the most acclaimed artists of the day. Since its formation, the orchestra has been directed by some of the world’s finest conductors, most notably Rudolf Kempe, Antal Dorati, André Previn and Vladimir Ashkenazy. Today, it continues to thrive, undertaking a busy concert, touring and recording schedule, under the inspired leadership of Maestro Daniele Gatti, who, from the beginning of the 2009-2010 season, will continue as Conductor Laureate, with Charles Dutoit as Artistic Director and Principal Conductor. In Singapore, the orchestra will perform under the baton of Principal Guest Conductor, Leonard Slatkin, Music Director of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and Principal Guest Conductor of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra in 2008-2009. His many honours and awards include the prestigious 2003 National Medal of Arts and the Chevalier of the Legion of Honor. One of the world’s top five orchestras and its renowned conductor present an evocative programme that moves from two tender, lilting, strings-dominated excerpts from Sir William Walton’s score for Sir Laurence Olivier’s film Henry V, to the four linked movements of Ralph Vaughan Williams' dramatic, spirited Symphony No. 6 in E minor, and finally culminating in Edward Elgar’s famous, emotive “Enigma” Variations, each variation inspired by and dedicated to an individual, beginning with his wife, featuring his close friends, and ending with a self-portrait. |
