Oxford has secured a private guided tour of the Philharmonie with Aliki Zachariadis, Head of Marketing & Digital Division. Aliki will take us around the Philharmonie, beginning on the stage of the Grand Auditorium to give us a feel for what it is like sitting in the orchestra.

We will round off the tour with drinks in a specially reserved area of the foyer.

Those who would then like to attend the concert hosted that night would be there just in time to do so as Haydn’s The Seasons plays at 19h30.

Let Thursday 29th January 2026 add a sparkle to the first month of the year.
