Classical, jazz, film, electronica, Mahler, Beethoven, Strauss, Bruckner, Elgar, Schubert, James MacMillan, Janacek, Britten, Dvorak... just about anyone really!
Sounds Like
The LSO sounds like the LSO - although you could argue we sound quite like some other orchestras as well! We are particularly known for our brass sound, thanks to the great Maurice Murphy, trumpet extraordinaire.
View the orchestra in action on our YouTube channel:

Watch our videos of interviews with LSO players, conductors and broadcasters talking about the music and themes in the 2008/09 concert season:
Émigré

Love Brahms?
What is it about Brahms that can polarise people? LSO players and Conductor Laureate André Previn tell us why they just can't get enough of him, despite Tchaikovsky, Britten and Dukas thinking otherwise. lso.co.uk/lovebrahms
Last Words
Writer and broadcaster Stephen Johnson profiles the final works of Sibelius, Tchaikovsky and Strauss and why so many composers left their best work til last. lso.co.uk/lastwords
Heirs & Rebels
Sir Colin Davis and broadcaster Rob Cowan talk about British music in the 1930s and profile Vaughan Williams's Fourth Symphony, Walton's Belshazzar's Feast and the influence of Elgar. lso.co.uk/heirsandrebels
Exotiques
Writer and broadcaster Stephen Johnson talks about the influence of the east on Debussy and in particular in the classic Prelude de l'apres midi d'un faune, performed in the film by the LSO under Valery Gergiev. lso.co.uk/exotiques
2008/09 Artist Portrait: Nikolaj Znaider
Violinist Nikolaj Znaider outlines the concertos he is playing with the LSO in May 2009, all linked by the city of Vienna: the concertos of Schoenberg, Korngold and Brahms. lso.co.uk/znaider
The London Symphony Orchestra is one of the world’s top orchestras. Our home is at the Barbican in the City of London, where we perform over 80 concerts every year, and at LSO St Luke’s, a converted 18th-century church just up the road which is the base for our LSO Discovery community and education programme. We also run a record label, LSO Live. Each year we tour to several different countries, and return to some regularly where we have residencies.
