LSO Discovery:
a whole lot of
musical inspiration
As the LSO’s community music
and education programme, LSO
Discovery brings over 40,000
people into contact with music
and musicians every year. LSO
Discovery is for everyone, so why not
sample one of our Discovery events?
A whole lot of
musical inspiration
Last season LSO musicians reached out
to 18,000 children in concerts, 5,000
in workshops, 500 teachers in training
opportunities and over 20,000 adults in
activities at Barbican and LSO St Luke’s

Once they’re hooked

20 young string players will work with
LSO Principals at the week-long LSO
St Luke’s Academy
Sing your heart out
The LSO is proud to have two successful
amateur choirs, the LSO St Luke’s Youth
and Community choirs, led by Animateur
