Artists' Circle

Leading the way and investing in the future of orchestral music.

Artists’ Circle members share our commitment to make outstanding music with the world’s finest musicians.

The LSO performs with a prestigious family of talented conductors and solo artists. Each artist develops a unique relationship with the Orchestra, one with its own energy, sound and focus. These relationships are at the heart of the LSO, and the driving force behind our major artistic projects each season.

Members of the Artists’ Circle help us to continue developing these important friendships, and enable us to build new relationships with young emerging artists, investing in the future of classical music.

Benefits for Artists’ Circle Members

Meet our family of artists, gain privileged access to our major creative projects, and learn about the highlights of each season before anyone else. Throughout the year we offer unique experiences to our Artists’ Circle members, which include:
