On behalf of Classic FM, I am thrilled to invite you to our ‘Classic FM Recommends’ series as part of the LSO’s 2024/25 season.
The London Symphony Orchestra is an official partner of Classic FM. Across the year, we have nine hand-picked-concerts we think will appeal to you; each one showcases the very best classical music, from old favourites to new discoveries. Whether you have planned a big night-out to hear Beethoven’s Symphony No 9, or a quick ‘Half Six Fix’ of Brahms’ Fourth Symphony, I hope you will enjoy this wonderful music, played by a world-class orchestra.
