The London Symphony Orchestra was established in 1904. It is resident orchestra at the Barbican in the City of London, and reaches international audiences through touring, residencies and digital partnerships. Through a world-leading learning and community program, LSO Discovery, the LSO connects people from all walks of life to the power of great music.
Based at LSO St Luke’s, the Orchestra’s community and music education center and a leading performance venue, LSO Discovery’s reach extends across East London, the UK and the world through both in-person and digital activity.
In 1999, the LSO formed its own recording label, LSO Live, with over 150 recordings released so far. Overall, the LSO has made more recordings than any other orchestra, with 2,500 recordings to its name. The orchestra has collaborated with a genre-busting roster of world-class artists through its work in film, video games and bespoke audio-only experiences.
In addition to entertaining and inspiring millions of listeners, the LSO’s performances have been decorated with multiple honours from the GRAMMY Awards, Oscars, Golden Globes, BAFTAs, and BRITs, not to mention three Mercury Music Prize album nominations.
