The BBC Philharmonic is reimagining the orchestral experience for a new generation – challenging perceptions, championing innovation and taking a rich variety of music to the widest range of audiences.

Along with around 35 free concerts a year at its MediaCityUK studio in Salford and a series of concerts at Manchester’s Bridgewater Hall, the orchestra broadcasts concerts on BBC Radio 3 from venues across the North of England, annually at the BBC Proms and from its international tours. Its performances are broadcast on BBC Radio 3 and available on BBC Sounds. The orchestra also records regularly for the Chandos label and has a catalogue of over 300 discs and digital downloads.

Championing new music, the orchestra has recently given world premieres of works by Tom Coult, David Matthews, Emily Howard, Outi Tarkiainen, Anna Thorvaldsdottir, Erland Cooper, Anna Appleby, Robert Laidlow, Gerald Barry and Grace-Evangeline Mason with the scope of the orchestra’s output extending far beyond standard repertoire.

In 2020 the BBC Philharmonic entered the UK Top 40 charts with Four Notes: Paul’s Tune and last year it released The Musical Story of the Gingerbread Man – a unique musical retelling of the classic children’s tale narrated by BBC Radio 5 Live’s Nihal Arthanayake. In May it performed at the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest, both at a free concert with previous Ukrainian winner Jamala and in the final itself with Italian artist Mahmood, for a rendition of John Lennon’s ‘Imagine’ during the Liverpool Songbook medley. Through all its activities, the BBC Philharmonic is bringing life-changing musical experiences to audiences across Greater Manchester, the North of England, the UK and around the world.
