Meet the Phil 2006/07

BBC Philharmonic's Meet the Phil - Front Cover
Experience the power of live symphonic music with the BBC Philharmonic.

Now in its 13th year, Meet the Phil sessions offer schools and community groups the chance to spend a morning with the BBC Philharmonic as they prepare for a forthcoming concert.

As well as observing the Orchestra in rehearsal you will also have the unique opportunity to talk to players and find out what it is really like to play in a professional orchestra; ask conductors how they prepare a score for performance; find out how a Radio Producer actually makes a programme for broadcast on BBC Radio 3 or talk to the management team who look after all the other aspects of running a busy international symphony orchestra.
