Hey there,
we are the National Philharmonic Orchestra of Great Britain.
And what do we like doing? Exploring ambitious musical projects, championing new creative voices, and collaborating with some of the world’s greatest artists.
With our concerts and music festivals, we explore imaginative new ways of presenting music that has resonated for centuries; and we invite you along for the journey.
At the heart of the orchestra is our Music Director, Robert D.C. Emery.
Emery is a multi-skilled musician, equally at home playing or conducting classical and light music. His work has taken him all over the world conducting the London Philharmonic, Royal Philharmonic, British Philharmonic, National Symphony , Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, The London Chorus, Japan Philharmonic, Basel Symphony , Singapore Lyric, Evergreen Philharmonic and the Central Aichi Orchestra. He has worked alongside world-class musicians and artists, such as Sir Simon Rattle and Bernard Haitink through to Blur/Damon Albarn, Russell Watson and Petula Clark.
Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything.

The orchestra was originally founded in 2009 as The Arts Symphonic Orchestra. Our rebranding to the National Philharmonic Orchestra of Great Britain in 2022 puts the orchestra on the world stage as one of the most adaptable orchestras in the UK. Having multi-ensemble options ranging from a small eight-piece chamber group to the full 90-piece symphony orchestra, means we can now provide services which range from classical crossover music to playing with international rock bands.
The orchestra members are leading performers in their field, providing expertise in various genres and performing situations, including the recording studio and TV studio and indoor and outdoor live events.
To complement the orchestra, we also have the National Philharmonic Chorus of Great Britain; with 48 individual world-class singers coming together to make the most amazingly adaptable choir working in the UK.
