The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra will also be returning to Hampton Court Palace Festival to perform on Saturday 23rd June. Against the atmospheric backdrop of Base Court, the palace's most impressive Tudor courtyard, the internationally acclaimed Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra will perform scores from the mainstream masters of classical music. A fireworks display will provide a spectacular finale to round off this superb evening.
