The BBC Philharmonic…

 …is based at MediaCityUK, Salford Quays, and performs an annual season of concerts at Manchester’s Bridgewater Hall, regular concerts in venues across the north of England and on international tours. The orchestra performs and records a wide range of repertoire, championing British composers, working with contemporary composers and with many artists across genres and styles as it explores and develops the role and versatility of the modern orchestra. 

The BBC Philharmonic makes a number of appearances every BBC Proms season, and is currently playing a key role in the Ten Pieces schools programme. The majority of the orchestra’s concerts are broadcast on BBC Radio 3 and during the ‘Philharmonic Presents…’ series, it can be heard on all national BBC networks.  This reflects the collaborative and adventurous programming of the ensemble. A longstanding relationship with Chandos Records has seen more than 150 releases covering a diverse range of repertoire and several CD recordings each year. 

The BBC Philharmonic is supported by Salford City Council, enabling the orchestra to build active links in the area through a busy learning and community programme. The orchestra works closely with the Greater Manchester Music Education Hub and the Royal Northern College of Music as well as other local and regional partners through its learning work.
