LSO Discovery On Tour

Free lunchtime concerts, new music, events for families and more – throughout London.

Music that Inspires

LSO Discovery is the London Symphony Orchestra’s learning and community programme. We reach 60,000 people every year through nearly 1,000 workshops and events, providing inspiring, inclusive opportunities for performers, creators and listeners of all ages.

Throughout 2025 our usual home – LSO St Luke’s, the LSO’s venue and rehearsal space on Old Street – will be closed for a programme of works and upgrades. So we’re taking LSO Discovery on tour all over London, bringing free lunchtime concerts, cutting-edge contemporary sounds and more to venues throughout the city.

On this page, you’ll find a guide to everything on offer between January and July 2025. We’ll also be sharing behind-the-scenes stories as we take our projects on tour, from workshops for teachers and young singers, to a tour of museums and galleries with LSO Create.
