Our Future

We’re closing the doors of LSO St Luke’s for much of 2025 to undertake a programme of works to improve our amenities, become more accessible, support our growing programme, and reach more people than ever before.

Our Vision

  • LSO Discovery: Improve amenities to support a growing programme of learning and outreach within the wider community.
  • Flexible Spaces: Improve the provision of flexible spaces to support the diverse range of activity at LSO St Luke’s.
  • Public Facing: Improve the LSO’s visibility at LSO St Luke’s reach as many people as possible through our work.
  • Improved Acoustics: Improve acoustics throughout the building to support world-leading music-making.
  • Access and Inclusion: Improve LSO St Luke’s and its churchyard to be more inviting and accessible.
  • Digital Technology: Support the LSO’s growing digital programme of audio and visual recording.
  • Historic Fabric: Sensitively maintain the grade-1 listed building.
