Backstage Pass is the Philharmonia Orchestra’s first uniquely audio podcast. We already bring you video podcasts but this time it’s all about the audio.

We'll take you behind the scenes of the Orchestra, giving you exclusive access to the players and a glimpse of the hard work that goes on before each and every concert.

This week the podcast is dedicated to our new season launch, kicking off with Berlioz’ brilliant work – La Grande Messe des Morts.

There’ll be laughter and unexpected discoveries along the way as well as an interview with Maestro Esa-Pekka Salonen.

Sit back and listen to a different side of the Philharmonia.
