JS Bach’s Magnificat in D is one of the best-loved works in the choral repertoire. Taken from Luke’s gospel, the text is the Virgin Mary’s canticle celebrating her pregnancy with the promised Messiah. In his magnificent setting, Bach amplifies the voice of an ordinary young woman as she responds to the astounding news that she would give birth to the Son of God.

Mozart’s Litaniae Lauretanae, a devotional to Mary written when he was only fifteen, showcases energy and sensitive artistry, with dynamic mood shifts capturing both reverence and exuberance.

Beethoven didn’t have much time for tyrants. “If I understood war as well as I understand music, I would conquer him” was his verdict when Napoleon invaded Austria – and judging from the daring, the charisma and the sheer, elemental force of his ‘Eroica’ (Heroic) Symphony, he might have had a point.

The commitment and skill of Ukrainian musicians always receives a warm welcome here at Cadogan Hall, and tonight, one of Ukraine’s most-admired pianists takes the spotlight in the majestic ‘Emperor’ Concerto – music of unbreakable grandeur and defiance, and the perfect complement to the ‘Eroica’.

National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine

This concert brings together two great romantic German composers, Mendelssohn and Brahms.

The works are both rousing and comforting in nature, and the much-loved Ein deutsches Requiem, which Brahms referred to as a ‘human requiem’, is written to console the living and to explore grief in its many forms, rather than to accompany the dead.

Direct from London’s world-famous jazz club and combining world-class live jazz, narration, rare archive photos and video footage, The Ronnie Scott’s All Stars take to the stage to celebrate The Ronnie Scott’s Story.

Set amongst the dive bars and jazz jook joints of London’s Soho, we hear about the desperate hand-to-mouth finances of the early years and the frequent police raids. We hear how Ronnie’s became neutral ground within rife gang territory and their scrapes with gangsters, including the Krays who were rumoured to have taken Ronnie Scott ‘for a little drive’!

Life at Ronnie’s is evocatively reimagined through tales of the club’s past visitors, from pop stars, film stars and politicians to comedians and royalty – but above all, the musicians.

VOCES8, joined by composer-in-residence, Taylor Scott Davis, and choirs from across the United States, collaborate with Vox Anima London in this unique choral offering featuring well-known and recently-composed repertoire, under the direction of Barnaby Smith.

The concert opens with VOCES8 performing alongside the visiting ensembles and culminates with VOCES8’s solo set of beloved repertoire and a return of all performing forces to the stage for a stunning finale.

At the age of 22, Rachmaninov had his heart broken. He poured all his ambition and all his emotion into the epic score of his First Symphony, which goes off like a volcano – wild, passionate and positively brimming with inspiration. For many years it was lost, but today conductor Nil Venditti gives this youthful tour de force its due.

The Northampton-born composer Edmund Rubbra, meanwhile, was one of the most admired names in post-war British music, but today his radiant Piano Concerto – inspired by the flowers and moods of the English countryside – is a real rarity. Pianist Mark Bebbington has made it his mission to rediscover Britain’s lost masterworks, and this one’s a jewel. You might be about to discover your new favourite piece.

Experience the enchanting world of Maestro Ennio Morricone, brought to life by Ensemble Symphony Orchestra and led by conductor Giacomo Loprieno.

Discovering Morricone pays an orchestral tribute to the renowned Italian composer, delving into his vast repertoire, from timeless classics to lesser-known yet beautifully captivating pieces.

More than a traditional concert, this musical journey will guide the audience through the decades that shaped the greatness of Italian and international cinema through the evocative power of Morricone’s iconic melodies, including classics like Once Upon a Time in the West, Cinema Paradiso, The Hateful Eight, and Malèna.

Experience the beauty and drama of Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons, performed by candlelight by the acclaimed chamber ensemble London Concertante. From the icy winds of winter to the gentle bloom of spring, this iconic work remains one of the most evocative pieces of classical music ever written.

Alongside it, enjoy Vaughan Williams’ soaring masterpiece The Lark Ascending – a meditative, pastoral work that captures the stillness and poetry of the English landscape.

He’s too modest to admit it, but Sir John Rutter might just be the world’s best-loved living classical composer. Millions have sung his music, millions more have been touched by it: fresh, sincere and written with genuine love, it’s part of all our lives.

For the RPO, any chance to work with Sir John is a special occasion, and tonight’s concert is no exception as he conducts the UK premiere of Reflections, a brand new piano concerto which will be performed by British pianist Steven Osborne.

Streatham Choral and the Brandenburg Sinfonia bring the brilliance of Haydn’s The Creation to Cadogan Hall, directed by Calum Fraser.

Impressed and inspired by Handel’s great oratorios which he heard during visits to London, Haydn said, “I was struck as if I had been put back a hundred years in my art.”

The resulting 1798 masterpiece bursts with vivid orchestral colour, soaring choruses, and movements of awe and wonder, as it celebrates the dawn of light and life in the story of Genesis.

Haydn: The Creation

A spectacular evening of timeless arias and crossover classics – from the golden era of Maria Callas to the romantic voice of Andrea Bocelli – interpreted by soprano Tamara Rađenović, accompanied by the London Concert Orchestra.

Tamara Radjenović, the internationally acclaimed soprano, returns to Cadogan Hall’s stage after a series of outstanding performances across the globe, from New York to Tokyo, through Europe’s most prestigious venues. Following her unforgettable debut at our renowned venue in 2025, which ended with a standing ovation, this performance marks another key milestone in her remarkable career.

A rhythm, a flute, and a melody you’ll never forget… it’s hard to say what exactly makes Ravel’s Boléro so irresistible. But this French composer had Spanish blood, and tonight’s concert is filled with the sunshine, the fragrance and the pure, intoxicating passion of Spain at its most seductive. Wild, whirling dances from Falla and Turina, delicate fairy tales from Ravel – it’s a fiesta in sound, even before Boléro strikes up that unstoppable beat.

But we couldn’t spend a night in Spain without hearing the classical guitar, and tonight the Coruña-based Spanish Galicia Symphony Orchestra is joined by dazzling young French guitarist Thibaut Garcia in that most Spanish of all guitar concertos: Rodrigo’s haunting and much-loved Concierto de Aranjuez.
