BBC Concert Orchestra live in London

Experience BBC Concert Orchestra live on October 3rd

The BBC Concert Orchestra will perform at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London on October 3, 2026. The orchestra is a uniquely versatile ensemble within the BBC family, renowned for its breadth of repertoire spanning classical works, film scores, musical theatre, and popular music arrangements. They maintain a strong commitment to new music alongside established favourites and are frequently heard on BBC radio broadcasts and television.

Queen Elizabeth Hall, part of the Southbank Centre complex, opened in 1967 and is a significant venue for classical music and other performing arts. Designed by architects Leslie Martin and Peter Moro, it’s recognised for its modernist architecture and excellent acoustics. Originally conceived as a space prioritizing artistic function over elaborate decoration, the hall underwent a major refurbishment completed in 2018 which improved accessibility and enhanced the audience experience while retaining its core acoustic properties.

The hall has hosted performances by numerous internationally acclaimed artists across various disciplines. Its flexible space allows for configurations suited to orchestral performances, chamber music recitals, and larger-scale productions. It stands as a key cultural landmark on London's South Bank.
