Relaxed Concerts
Free concerts particularly suited for people who have sensory and communication impairments, or who are neurodiverse.
Our relaxed concerts are tailored for people who have sensory and communication impairments, learning disabilities, or who are neurodiverse. Everyone over the age of 5 who feels more comfortable attending concerts in an easy-going environment is welcome.
LSO musicians perform chamber music, and the concerts feature a presenter and BSL interpreter. There is a chance to ask questions at the end of the concert.
These events are popular, and unreserved seating is limited, so we recommend arriving in good time to secure your place.
These concerts are not suitable for under-5s.
Booking for Accessible Seating and Groups
Visitors with access requirements or attending in a group of 10+ are encouraged to reserve seats so we can ensure your visit is as smooth as possible.
For more information, or to discuss access requirements, please email community@lso.co.uk.
Watch Online
If you prefer to watch from the comfort of your own surroundings, most of our Relaxed Concerts are streamed live for free on our YouTube channel, and are also available to watch on demand afterwards. You can ask questions during the Q&A using the Live Chat feature. There is BSL interpretation and live captions.
