The Royal Philharmonic Society, founded in London in 1813, is one of the oldest music societies in the world. Among other things, it's famous for commissioning Beethoven's 9th Symphony. It's a charitable organisation that quietly sits at the heart of the British classical music world, with projects that include helping young players fund professional-standard instruments, empowering female conductors, and supporting commissions for composers.
