In 1987, the RPO established a sister ensemble, the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra, which plays lighter classics. It succeeded a similar group, the Royal Philharmonic Pops Orchestra.<ref name=golding/> In 1989, the RPO recorded the flamenco album "Soy Gitano" (I am a gipsy man) with [[Camarón de la Isla]].

RPO players have been involved with many performances away from the classical repertory.  In the 1960s, they pioneered the "mixed media" concert, appearing with [[The Nice]] rock band.<ref>Cardus et al, p. 7</ref> Later non-classical ventures included ''[[Live at the Acropolis|Yanni Live at the Acropolis]]'', a concert held in Greece in 1993, conducted by [[Shahrdad Rohani]];<ref name="AllmusicAcropolis">Widran, Jonathan, [http://www.allmusic.com/album/live-at-the-acropolis-mw0000108919 "Yanni / Live at the Acropolis / review"] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20120712141034/http://www.allmusic.com/album/live-at-the-acropolis-mw0000108919 WebCite archive]), [[AllMusic]], 1994 or later.</ref> In 1992 [[UEFA]] commissioned the orchestra and the [[Academy of St Martin in the Fields]] chorus to record the [[UEFA Champions League Hymn]].<ref name=UEFAanthem>[http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/music/index.htm "UEFA Champions League anthem"], UEFA.
