We are pleased to let you know about a new partnership between Martin Randall Travel and the Royal Philharmonic Society, which we hope will bring you even closer to the finest musicians. The RPS is one of the UK’s foremost music charities in which music-lovers play a vital part supporting and protecting the musicians we all cherish. 

We are thrilled to be collaborating and, to launch the partnership, we held an exclusive free webinar episode on Tuesday 3rd October, co-hosted by MRT and RPS showcasing a very special guest. Baritone Roderick Williams is one of the most acclaimed and beloved British musicians – a great friend of Martin Randall Travel, having performed on many of our music festivals. He is also a Trustee of the RPS and devoted to its mission: the perfect figure to launch our new association.

Uniquely Roderick gave a glimpse of his life at home, and spoke about his creative passions and the music that inspires him – drawing back the curtain on his performing life.

We do all this with the help of music-lovers who join our community and take pride in positively shaping the story of music. RPS Membership is an opportunity for you to make a charitable gesture and show support for the music and musicians you love, make fresh discoveries and get closer to what’s happening in classical music today, and be a valued part of a community united by a cause.
