The Concert

Make lunchtime musical with a free, bite-size concert, suitable for everyone over the age of 5. Be the first to hear new music by emerging composers on LSO Discovery’s schemes, including new works created specially for this unique venue – a tropical oasis in the heart of the City.

While our venue LSO St Luke’s is closed for a programme of works and upgrades for much of 2025, we’re taking LSO Discovery on tour all over London. For this concert, we’ll be exploring the second biggest conservatory in London, in the Barbican, where the LSO is Resident Orchestra.

Event and Access Information

Please note that this is primarily a standing event. The concert will start with an introduction on the Conservatory Terrace, before moving into the Conservatory for the performances, which will take place in different locations throughout the space.
