The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, with soloist Esther Yoo and Associate Conductor Emilia Hoving, plays The Hexagon in Reading.
The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra are playing The Hexagon on Saturday 6 March 2027, with violinist Esther Yoo and Associate Conductor Emilia Hoving. It's a morning concert, starting at 11:30, so you'll be out well before lunch.
The RPO is one of those names that probably sounds familiar even if you've never seen them live. Founded in 1946 by Sir Thomas Beecham, they're now led by Music Director Vasily Petrenko and based in London, where they play around 200 concerts a year. They've built a reputation as one of the world's most versatile symphony orchestras, reaching a live and online audience of over 70 million people annually. They're the Associate Orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall and hold residencies in four UK areas, with The Hexagon being one of them.
Their community and education programme, Resound, was one of the first of its kind, and in 2025 the orchestra moved its headquarters to Wembley Park under the patronage of King Charles III. The Hexagon itself is a Brutalist building from 1977, designed by Robert Matthew Johnson Marshall, and holds between 1,200 and 1,686 people. It's currently being expanded with a new 200-seat Studio Theatre, which is due to open in spring 2027.
