Canellakis is a conductor and violinist known for her interpretations of both standard repertoire and contemporary works, often praised for clarity, energy, and a meticulous attention to orchestral detail. Her programming frequently features composers like Beethoven, Brahms, and Shostakovich alongside newer voices. She currently serves as Chief Conductor of the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra and Principal Guest Conductor of the London Philharmonic Orchestra.

The Royal Festival Hall, situated on the South Bank of the River Thames, is the largest of the three concert and event venues within the Southbank Centre. Opened in 1951 as part of the Festival of Britain celebrations, it was designed by Leslie Martin and Peter Moro and represents a key example of post-war modernist architecture. Initially conceived as a national centre for celebration and artistic expression, it quickly became a prominent venue for classical music performances. Throughout its history, it has hosted performances by virtually every major orchestra and soloist internationally. The hall underwent significant refurbishment between 2005-2007 to improve acoustics and audience facilities while retaining its original character.
