The London Philharmonic Orchestra are, in their Rachmaninoff: Inside Out concert series, running from October 2014 until April 2015.

Inside Out is the most extensive celebration of Rachmaninoff’s music ever undertaken in a season with 11 concerts including the complete symphonies and piano concertos, the opera The Miserly Knight, the choral masterpiece The Bells, rare performances of the cantata Spring and orchestral songs as well as a selection of other much-loved and rare orchestral works.

Audiences will also be treated music by composers who inspired Rachmaninoff, including fellow Russian, Tchaikovsky, alongside Wagner and Richard Strauss. There will also be performances from lesser-known composers including Szymanowski and Enescu, to give audiences an idea of the kind of music being written around the same time as Rachmaninoff’s masterworks.
