The London Philharmonic Orchestra celebrates three milestones during 2007/08: the 75th anniversary of the Orchestra's first performance on 7 October 1932; the first season with its new Principle Conductor, Vladimir Jurowski, and its return to a refurbished Royal Festival Hall.
The season's musical programmes are also celebratory with works ranging from Beethoven's five piano concertos to a recognition of anniversary years for Elgar and Korngold. There are the first five symphonies of Mahler, the Ravel piano concertos, the great violin concertos, Verdi's immortal Requiemand a concert performance of Bellini's La straniera in partnership with Opera Rara.

Gidon Kremer, Christian Tetzlaff, Leonidas Kavakos and Sergey Khachatryan head a line-up of great violinists as do Maurizio Pollini, Emanuel Ax and Richard Goode of great pianists. Conductors Kurt Masur, Gennadi Rozhdestvensky and Christoph Eschenbach feature and there are debut performances with the London Philharmonic Orchestra by Simone Young.
