Outstanding music performed in the open air – free for everyone in an informal atmosphere. Large screens will be mounted on either side of the stage to allow the audience to witness the concert close up.

The programme will feature works by Igor Stravinsky including the highly popular Firebird Suite and The Rite of Spring. 70 young musicians from LSO Discovery, the Orchestra’s award-winning music education and community programme, will play alongside the LSO players and perform The Lite of Spring, an interpretation of Stravinsky’s work by Gareth Glyn. LSO animateur Paul Rissmann will present the concert and guide the audience through the repertoire.


Tickets: free, no ticket required - just turn up
