The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra (RPCO) has delighted audiences worldwide with its versatile programming, having been in constant demand for live performances and recordings of classical, light classical and popular music since its formation in 1987.

The concert features songs from the time of Police - "Roxanne", "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic", "Next To You" and "Every Breath You Take", but also from Sting's solo period - "Englishman in New York", "Fragile", "If I Ever Lose My Faith In You", "Fields of Gold" etc.
