The Southbank Centre has announced the final round of purely digital events before the Centre reopens to the public in May.

Gillian Moore CBE, director of Music and Performing Arts, Southbank Centre, says: 'After a year of closure we’re all starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel, with our doors set to reopen on 28 May.

'As we announce the remaining events in our ongoing digital series Inside Out, it’s a real moment to pause and look back at the year that has passed. We are so grateful to our family of orchestras who have been the backbone of our virtual season, bringing content to global audiences since last September. The Philharmonia Orchestra and London Philharmonia Orchestra will close out this ambitious programme and I can’t wait to tune in for more world-class music-making in the weeks ahead.'
