LSO Friends: It's Everybody's Orchestra

> Join LSO Friends | > About | > Activities | > How your support helps

The LSO’s mission ‘To make the finest music available to the greatest number of people’ has been at the core of everything we do since the Orchestra’s inception in 1904.

LSO Friends play a vital role in making this possible, by providing philanthropic support for the Orchestra’s concert season and a wide variety of LSO Discovery projects. Alongside a world renowned award-winning record label, community music projects for all ages and abilities, and our inspirational education centre LSO St Luke’s, our Friends help us to be a 21st century orchestra.

As a registered charity, we welcome support through the LSO Friends scheme.

Join us now and become more involved with the Orchestra from insights at open rehearsals to special events with LSO Players whilst at the same time supporting our exciting work across a global stage.
