Philharmonia Chamber Players
  • Edinburgh International Festival

This intimate ensemble explores richly imagined music as part of the orchestra's residency at the International Festival.

Well-established and much celebrated in their own right, the Philharmonia Chamber Players form an intimate ensemble of some of the Philharmonia Orchestras finest musicians, bringing the larger groups expertise and insight to masterpieces of the chamber repertoire.

As part of the Philharmonias multi-concert residency at the 2022 International Festival, the Chamber Players explore richly imagined music. At the end of the Second World War, Richard Strauss surveyed a musical world decimated by the conflict, and mourned its passing in his deeply moving, visionary Metamorphosen " performed here in Strausss original conception for seven solo string players.

For a long time inexplicably overlooked, astonishing French composer Louise Farrenc wrote with a power and punch to rival Beethoven. Her virtuosic Nonet stirs the senses with its almost orchestral richness and its surging passions. The concert opens with the richly expressive String Trio by long-time Edinburgh resident Hans Gl, at once deeply tragic and joyfully uplifting.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
