Having notched up their half century a couple of years back, the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra (PPO) visit Symphony Hall this month with a much-deserved reputation for being one of the Asia-Pacific region’s top musical ensembles.
They perform to the masterfully wielded baton of their acclaimed music director & principal conductor, Grzegorz Nowak, who has been the inspiration behind their output since 2023.
The orchestra’s Birmingham appearance sees them presenting a programme of music that begins with a short work by the PPO’s composer-in-residence, Jeffrey Ching (which he’s written especially for the UK tour) and ends with Beethoven’s always-thrilling Fifth Symphony.
Performed in-between the two compositions is Bizet’s Carmen Suite no1, Ralph Vaughan Williams’ The Lark Ascending, and two works by Tchaikovsky: Swan Lake Suite and Rococo Variations.
