The London Symphony Chorus (LSC) is an esteemed pillar of the classical choral scene, renowned for its versatility and expressive performances. Founded in 1966 to complement the illustrious London Symphony Orchestra (LSO), the LSC quickly established itself as an independent and world-class choral organization. The chorus consists of over 160 amateur singers who, under the guidance of professional direction, deliver performances of the highest caliber across a wide range of repertoire.

With a penchant for musical excellence, the London Symphony Chorus has interpreted works from classical masterpieces to contemporary scores, engaging audiences in both concert halls and recording sessions. The chorus’s vibrant discography reflects its breadth of talent, recently embodying the emotional depths of Mahler's "Resurrection" Symphony, the poignant narrative of Britten's "War Requiem," and the spirited melodies of Bernstein's "Candide" and "Wonderful Town." Complementing these are their profound renderings of Beethoven's "Christ on the Mount of Olives" and the spirited Latin verses of Carl Orff's "Carmina Burana," showcasing their ability to infuse each performance with vitality and sensitivity. Through its celebrated collaboration with the LSO and other leading orchestras, the London Symphony Chorus continues to be a shining beacon in the world of choral music.
