The Russian State Philharmonic Orchestra currently ranks among the finest symphonic ensembles in Russia, receiving frequent invitations to perform in countries around the world. We are delighted to welcome them to Cadogan Hall, where they perform some of the best-loved music written by Russia’s most popular composers.

Conductor Valery Poliansky is joined by his daughter Tatiana in Rachmaninov’s richly romantic Second Piano Concerto, one of the composer’s enduringly popular pieces.

The evening opens with Tchaikovsky’s sparkling Polonaise from Eugene Onegin, and closes with Rimsky-Korsakov’s colourful and exotic symphonic suite, based on Arabian Nights.
