As our Conductor Laureate joins us to celebrate his 80th birthday in December 2024, friends and Members of the LSO look back over his decades-long relationship with the Orchestra.
Conductor Laureate Michael Tilson Thomas’ relationship with the LSO spans over five decades – and it is a partnership that grows more rewarding every time he returns. ‘The LSO has been part of my life since I was 24 years old,’ he says. ‘The spirit of the orchestra remains much the same today.’
