Concert – Royal Philharmonic Orchestra: Relaxed Performance

Join musicians from the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra for a playful, interactive introduction to orchestral music!

Imagine an orchestra concert that welcomes everyone – where fidgeting is fine, chill-out spaces are ready, and the musical joy knows no boundaries. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra invites you to a musical afternoon designed to delight all families and friends.

Featuring orchestral musicians and our charismatic presenter performing a range of music in ways you’ve never imagined, this event is specially designed for people who may find traditional concerts challenging to attend, including adults and children with learning disabilities, movement disorders, sensory impairments, autistic spectrum disorder, dementia and other neurological conditions, or those with young children or babies.

There will be opportunities to sing, dance, move about or just listen as preferred, and ‘chill out’ spaces will be available for anyone needing some quiet time before re-entering the auditorium. At the end of the concert, optional post-concert activities will invite you to try your hand at a range of musical activities, led by the RPO musicians themselves.
