2022 saw the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra embark on much-missed full calendar year of in-person concerts and community and education projects with RPO Resound, with twelve packed months of discovery and reconnecting with our audiences across the world.
Forget notions that orchestral music is something for older people. New research from the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra suggests that not only has the proportion of people under 35 listening to orchestral music as part of their daily lives increased in the last five years, young people are now more likely to be listening to it than their parents.
Young people have overtaken their parents and grandparents' generation as being the people most likely to enjoy orchestral music as part of the countdown to Christmas - according to new festive research by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO).
The national poll of 2,000 adults turned on its head the long-held assumption that orchestral music is a music genre for older people. Instead, the RPO study revealed that 74% of people aged under 25 will engage with orchestral music this Christmas, compared to just 46% of people aged 55 or over.
