Today, the LSO turns 122! 🎂
For more than a century, our musicians have been at the heart of everything we do, creating the sound, the stories and the community that make the LSO what it is.
To celebrate, we asked some of our players: What does being part of the LSO mean to you?
Sir Antonio Pappano on Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No 6, 'Pathétique' – a symphony he calls 'unique in the world of classical music' – and Bernstein's Symphony No 2, 'The Age of Anxiety', based on the poetry of W H Auden.
Watch as he shares what makes these works so powerful.
Is this the most epic fanfare in classical music history?🎺
Sir Antonio Pappano conducts Copland’s Symphony No 3 and Walker’s Sinfonia No 5 in this release of two American masterworks, including Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man.
