The "meticulous, brilliant conductor" Vladimir Jurowski (New York Times) returns with the London Philharmonic Orchestra for Chopin's cascading First Piano Concerto, featuring Canadian-Polish prodigy Jan Lisiecki. Just 21 years old, Lisiecki has been winning over critics and audiences worldwide with his "refined technique, keen musical instincts and a poetic sensibility" (New York Times). In the second half, the orchestra shifts to Mahler's sunlit Fourth Symphony.

The London Philharmonic Orchestra is one of the world's finest symphony orchestras, balancing a long and distinguished history with a reputation as one of the UK's most adventurous and forward-looking orchestras.

The London Philharmonic Orchestra has been performing at Southbank Centre's Royal Festival Hall in London since it opened in 1951, becoming Resident Orchestra there in 1992. We also have flourishing residencies in Brighton and Eastbourne, and in summer we play for Glyndebourne Festival Opera where we have been Resident Symphony Orchestra since 1964. Touring abroad forms a major part of the Orchestra's schedule: highlights of the 2016/17 season include visits to New York, Germany, Hungary, Spain, France, Belgium, The Netherlands and Switzerland.

Having long been embraced by the recording, broadcast and film industries, the London Philharmonic Orchestra broadcasts regularly on TV and radio. We also work with the Hollywood and UK film industries, and have been recording soundtracks for over half a century. Big headliners include The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Maurice Jarre's Lawrence of Arabia, gems like East is East and most recently Thor: The Dark World and Iron Man 3.

In 2005 we established our own record label, which now numbers over 90 releases. Recent releases include The Genius of Film Music: Hollywood Blockbusters 1960s to 1980s, as well as archive recordings of Tennstedt conducting Beethoven's Symphonies Nos. 5 and 6. Other projects have included a recording of James Horner's Collage: A Concerto for Four Horns - one of the very last commissions, written for members of the LPO's horn section, by the film composer just before his tragic early death in 2015.
