The Philharmonia Orchestra and Cromwell Place present a series of concerts reflecting on current exhibition themes.

The third of the Philharmonia Orchestra's four autumn concerts at Cromwell Place will respond to portraiture. Coinciding with the National Portrait Gallery's 2022 Taylor Wessing Portrait Prize, the players have chosen Johannes Brahms's Horn Trio. Brahms's choice of violin, piano and horn, the three instruments he learned as a child, and his exploration of different facets of bereavement, after the death of his mother, make this something of a musical self-portrait. This is music full of emotion, from deeply felt grief to the warmth of happy memories. 

BRAHMS: Horn Trio

SMYTH: Trio for Violin, Horn and Piano, Mvt 1

All tickets include a complimentary glass of prosecco, wine or non-alcoholic equivalent on arrival. 

Persons purchasing Performance + Dinner tickets can be seated for their meal at 5.30pm or 8.30pm.

The Philharmonia recital series at Cromwell Place is supported by NJA Limited.
