Not to be left out of the carnival, the fastidious conductor Stanislav Kochanovsky and the constantly rippling pianist Alexei Volodin ditched part of their traditional black for open white shirts.

On Saturday June 3 the Philharmonia Chorus made its debut at Bold Tendencies, a performing space in a former multi-story car park in Peckham. The Philharmonia Chorus joined the Philharmonia Orchestra in a performance of Holst's The Planets, conducted by young Finnish conductor Emilia Hoving.

A blind princess, a doting father, and a miracle cure that can only act through the power of true love. No composer knew how to tell stories and tug at the heartstrings better than Tchaikovsky, and his melodious, fairytale one-act opera Iolanta leaves audiences reaching for their handkerchiefs every time. For this one-off semi-staged revival at the Royal Albert Hall on 8 November, the Philharmonia Chorus joined a world-class cast of singers who have known Tchaikovsky's music all their lives. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra was conducted by Vasily Petrenko.

On Thursday 11 May, the Philharmonia Chorus took part in performances of Rachmaninov's The Bells and Scriabin's Prometheus, the Poem of Fire at the Royal Festival Hall, London.

The performances were conducted by Stanislav Kochanovsky.

On Thursday 27 April, the Philharmonia Chorus joined mezzo-soprano Hannah Hipp, the Tiffin Boys Choir, and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in a performance of Mahler's Third Symphony. The performance was conducted by orchestra's principal conductor, Vasily Petrenko.
