Composers

From Beethoven to Carter, forging relationships with composers is at the heart of RPS work.

The Society and Beethoven

‘I am now writing a new symphony for the Philharmonic Society, and hope to have it finished within two weeks.’ (Beethoven to Archduke Rudolf, 1 July 1823)

Mendelssohn and the Philharmonic Society

‘The 1844 performances under Mendelssohn’s leadership were greatly in demand – Queen Victoria attended on 10 June.’
