London Philharmonic Orchestra

The versatility of the London Philharmonic Orchestra is overwhelming and enrapturing. From classical recitals, the proms, right through to collaborations with pop artists, the versatility of the instrumentalists is outstanding. The majority of the orchestra are classically trained, and this is evident in their skilful musicianship.
I was lucky enough to see their live performance of the Gladiator soundtrack by Hnas Zimmer performed at the Royal Albert Hall earlier this year. The already epic score was brought to life by each and every member of the ensemble, with the original vocalists harmonies dancing elegantly over the powerful melodies. The balance of percussion, strings, woodwind, and brass echoed around the venue, bouncing off the giant jellyfish acoustic enhancers on the ceiling.
Although I’ve watched the film and listened to the soundtrack countless times, hearing an orchestra as talented and the Philharmonic play their perfect rendition, brought the entire score to life. The versatile orchestra take every score they tackle by storm, and from classical to pop performances, I will be at any one I can. An incredible experience that isn’t worth missing, make sure you get your hands on tickets, because you can guarantee that they will be playing a genre that suits you sometime soon!
