The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra's (RPO) mission is to enrich lives through orchestral experiences that are uncompromising in their excellence and inclusive in their appeal. Under the baton of its new Music Director Vasily Petrenko, the RPO gives concerts in London, across the UK and across the world, and in 2018 was named by a leading classical music website as the world's most in demand orchestra. The RPO is proud of its diversity of performance and community programmes and seeks to widen access to orchestral music to all sections of our society.

We look forward to sharing with delegates at the Beijing Forum for Symphonic Music 2019 best practice from the RPO's programmes whilst equally learning from and being inspired by colleagues with other orchestras from China and across the world. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra wishes Beijing Forum for Symphonic Music 2019 much success.
