Our mission is to change the way that people experience classical concerts and to break down the traditional barriers between orchestra and audience

By combining well-loved with less familiar programmes, we aspire to create an environment that is both welcoming to new audiences and yet still delivers a sense of discovery, freshness and vitality to the more seasoned concert-goer.

SEASON OVERVIEW 2015-16 CADOGAN HALL

In marking the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo, we explore the life and legacy of one of history’s most controversial figures: Napoleon Bonaparte. To some he was a visionary leader who laid the foundations of modern Europe; to others he was a power-crazed dictator. Even Beethoven went from idolising Napoleon as a revolutionary hero, to declaring him a tyrant. What is indisputable is his passion for music: “of all the fine arts”, Napoleon declared, “music is the one which has the most influence on the emotions”.

This season sees a number of exciting guest performers make their LCO debut, including conductor Riccardo Minasi, soprano Lucy Crowe and pianist Yevgeny Sudbin. We also welcome back trumpeter Alison Balsom who leads the orchestra in a special baroque programme.
