Rock and heavy metal anthems and orchestral music collide with epic force in the Philharmonia Orchestra’s head-banging show.
Epic. Loud. Flamboyant. Classical music and heavy metal have more in common than you might think.
Drawing inspiration from metal’s industrial roots, the 100-strong Philharmonia Orchestra (alongside other musical collaborators to be announced) brings its powerful sound to some of the biggest pieces of orchestral music ever composed – think Wagner’s Ride of the Valkyries – and full throttle orchestral versions of rock and heavy metal anthems.
Principal Conductor Santtu-Matias Rouvali taps into his past as a rock drummer for a performance that brings together the defiant and often iconoclastic energy of two extraordinary musical forms.
Commissioned by Southbank Centre and the Philharmonia Orchestra.
Part of Multitudes 2026.
Southbank Centre, Belvedere Road, London SE1 8XX
