London Philharmonic Orchestra
Renowned for its groundbreaking performances and exhilarating sound, the London Philharmonic Orchestra (LPO) has been celebrated as one of the world’s premier orchestras since its founding by Sir Thomas Beecham in 1932.
The LPO’s mission is to inspire with its distinctive concert programs and recordings. You might recognize the LPO from its contributions to iconic film soundtracks, such as those for The Lord of the Rings. Under the baton of Principal Conductor Edward Gardner, Conductor Emeritus Vladimir Jurowski, and Principal Guest Conductor Karina Canellakis, the LPO delivers electrifying concerts at London’s Southbank Centre and serves as the resident orchestra at Glyndebourne. As a proud partner of Marquee TV, you can enjoy select LPO concerts exclusively on the platform, with new performances premiering on select Saturdays at 7 pm.
