Its main concert series will continue at The Bridgewater Hall in Manchester.

The BBC Philharmonic has made over 200 recordings with Chandos Records. Recent awards include Melvyn Bragg's South Bank Sky Arts Award for Classical Music, for the BBC Philharmonic's joint performance of Mahler's Eighth Symphony, part of the city-wide Mahler Festival in 2010.

The BBC Philharmonic is supported by Salford City Council, enabling the orchestra to build active links in the area through a busy learning and community programme.
