Portrait of Tamar Sandor

After a fantastic few years playing as part of a string quartet, and receiving numerous prizes, Tamás was given opportunities to travel across Europe and America, performing with numerous orchestras.

Following a move to Antwerp, he joined the Royal Flemish Philharmonic; combining chamber music (from string trio to piano sextet) with playing with a full orchestra.

In 2013, Tamás began playing with the Philharmonia Orchestra, and he joined as a full member in 2014 as Principal 2nd violin.

The Joint Principal Second Violin Chair is currently available for endowment. Endowment opportunities at the Philharmonia offer supporters unique access and insights to our players. Find out more here.
