The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra's reputation for great music-making is world-renowned and well-deserved. From home-grown audiences in Great Britain to international audiences from China to Germany to Mexico, the Royal Philharmonic delivers world-class music of exceptional quality and versatility. The orchestra continually proves the truthfulness of the belief, expressed by its founder, Sir Thomas Beecham, that good music "penetrates the ear with facility and quits the memory with difficulty." Joining the Royal Philharmonic for this engagement will be renowned musician Pinchas Zukerman, who has been a force in classical music as a violinist, violist, and conductor for nearly four decades. The performance will include "Serenade for Strings," by Edward Elgar, "Violin Concerto in G minor," by Max Bruch, and Tchaikovsky's "Symphony No. 4."
