London Chamber Orchestra

The London Chamber Orchestra (LCO) is one of the UK’s most dynamic and versatile classical ensembles, celebrated for its vibrant performances and innovative programming. Founded in 1921, it holds the distinction of being Britain’s oldest professional chamber orchestra. Led by renowned conductor Christopher Warren-Green since 1988, the LCO has built a reputation for blending traditional repertoire—like their recent releases of Dvořák, Suk, and Vaughan Williams serenades—with contemporary works and collaborative projects. Their discography, including albums such as *Music from the Ghetto* and *Phibbs: Clarinet Concerto*, showcases their curiosity for both historical gems and modern compositions.

Known for its nimble, expressive strings and adventurous spirit, the LCO frequently performs in iconic venues like St. John’s Smith Square while embracing live recordings and genre-crossing partnerships. Their recent focus on clarinet concertos (like Mozart’s timeless *K. 622*) and thematic explorations of lesser-known composers highlights their mission to connect audiences with music’s emotional depth and storytelling power. Whether resurrecting forgotten works or reimagining classics, the LCO remains a lively force in the classical world.
