At the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, we believe that everyone deserves to benefit from the life-enhancing power of great music. That’s why we are dedicated to finding imaginative ways to engage those who might not otherwise have access to a rich musical life. Through RPO Resound, we take music beyond the concert hall and out into communities. These programmes allow us to witness first-hand the profound impact music has on individuals and groups. Across our diverse range of projects and partnerships, we focus on three key areas where music makes a difference:


Health and wellbeing

Music makes us happier, healthier people. From helping people to improve their physical and mental health through experiencing music, to using music as a tool for rehabilitation and recovery, our projects and events use music in a powerful way to improve people’s lives.

Inclusion and social cohesion

Music brings people together and creates a sense of connection. It provides a common language and bridges differences, uniting us and reflecting the very best of our collective self. We engage with individuals who need our help to access their musicality, and bring a diversity of people into the same space to share and enjoy music together.

Aspiration and achievement for all

Musical skills enable personal growth, promote academic and lifelong achievement, and raise aspirations. RPO Resound is working to enable more people to develop musical skills through strategic and well-placed partnerships, creating targeted interventions and improving progression routes for those who need them the most.
