The London Mozart Players (LMP) is one of Europe's greatest chamber orchestras and the longest established, having been founded in 1949 by Harry Blech. As well as regular concerts in central London and at Fairfield Hall in Croydon (where the LMP is Resident Orchestra), the LMP also plays concerts across the UK and Europe throughout the year.
Andrew Parrott, a conductor of great authority in the LMP's core repertoire, is the orchestra's Music Director. Sir James Galway OBE is the LMP's Principal Guest with Nicolae Moldoveanu as Associate Guest Conductor, and the well-known actor, Simon Callow, as Theatrical Adviser. In London, the LMP plays regularly at the South Bank Centre, maintaining the proud and unique record of having appeared there every year since the Royal Festival Hall opened in 1951. The orchestra also performs at the Barbican Centre and has a well-established relationship with St John's, Smith Square.
With the support of Arts Council England, the LMP has developed associations with a number of key venues and promoters around the country. Alongside these, the LMP is also committed to developing new audiences in easily-accessible venues such as community halls and churches, both in outer London Boroughs and more rural locations nationally.
The LMP has one of the most extensive orchestral education and outreach programmes, aimed at reaching as wide a cross-section as possible of the communities in which it works. Funding from Nestlé has enabled the LMP to reach thousands of children, and produce Music for Everyone.
