BBC Philharmonic

The BBC Philharmonic play Beethoven, James MacMillan and Richard Strauss.

From its base in its custom-designed studio at MediaCityUK in Salford, the BBC Philharmonic brings orchestral music-making of the highest calibre to large and diverse audiences across Greater Manchester, the North of England, the UK and around the world, whether through education projects, digital innovation like the 2005 Beethoven Symphonies downloads, commissioning new music from leading composers (from 2000-2009 their composer-conductor was James MacMillan), or collaborations with other organisations including the 2015 Asian Network Prom, and with the 'other' local band, the Hallé.

Introduced by Andrew McGregor.
