The London Symphony Orchestra is widely regarded as one of the world’s leading orchestras. Since its formation in 1904, it has featured superb orchestral musicians from all over the world, many of whom have flourishing solo, chamber music and teaching careers alongside their orchestral work. The LSO’s roster of outstanding conductors includes LSO president Sir Colin Davis, principal conductor Valery Gergiev, conductor laureate André Previn, and principal guest conductors Daniel Harding and Michael Tilson Thomas. The LSO is resident orchestra at the Barbican Centre in the City of London, presenting over 70 concerts a year to its London audiences, and a further 70 concerts abroad on tour. The orchestra has a successful annual residency at Lincoln Center, New York, and is the international resident orchestra of La Salle Pleyel in Paris, also appearing regularly in Japan and the Far East, as well as in all the major European cities. In 2010 it became the resident orchestra at the Aix-en-Provence Festival. Outside the concert hall, the orchestra’s many other activities include an energetic and ground-breaking education and community programme, a record company, a music education centre and pioneering work in the field of digital music.
