Celebrating two decades, the Annual City Livery Concert has become a much-loved fixture in the City of London calendar: both a vibrant showcase of the rich arts and culture of the Square Mile, and an opportunity for the LSO to express its gratitude to the companies, clubs and guilds whose continued support enables world-leading music-making on their doorstep.
We warmly invite Liverymen, their families and associates to the Barbican Centre for an evening featuring three powerful orchestral works. Sir Antonio Pappano, Chief Conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra, is joined by exceptional mezzo-soprano Fleur Barron, who brings her technical brilliance and artistry to the world premiere of Hannah Kendall’s I have discovered the secret of death.
We hope many Liverymen and their guests will be able to join us for what promises to be a memorable evening of music.
There are a limited number of seats available, and we advise that you book as soon as possible.
