The foundation of Southbank Centre’s extensive and wide-ranging classical music programme is its Resident Orchestras, festivals and series, featuring some of the world’s most talented and inspiring musicians.

• We are lucky that four great resident orchestras the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the Philharmonia Orchestra, the London Sinfonietta, and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment call Southbank Centre their home. Together they perform over 150 concerts here each season.

Along with our regular year-long series Shell Classic International, International Chamber Music Season and International Piano Series featuring Mitsuko Uchida, Julia Fischer, Daniel Hope, Takács Quartet and Sir Simon Rattle and many more.
