Event cancelled: Family Concert: LSO Discovery 30th anniversary

In light of the current coronavirus lockdown, and government rules regarding gatherings, all public performances and workshops at the Barbican and LSO St Luke’s have been cancelled or postponed until further notice. Initially this period covers all public events from Monday 16 March up until Tuesday 30 June 2020, but we will continue to review this over the coming weeks, and will be in touch as soon as possible if this changes.

We appreciate your support during this time, and ask that you bear with us and the Box Office as ticket-holders are notified. If you have booked a ticket for something that’s been cancelled, you will be able claim a refund or exchange your tickets and the Barbican Centre Box Office will be in touch soon. A large number of events at the Barbican and LSO St Luke’s are being cancelled and postponed, so we ask that you are patient and avoid contacting the Box Office directly at this stage.

We are saddened to have to cancel performances, but the health and wellbeing of our audience-members, musicians and staff is of the utmost importance. We know that music can bring comfort, hope and community in difficult times, and our mission remains to ensure that this is available to everyone, everywhere. In the coming weeks we will be using our online channels to share videos of performances, articles, interviews and playlists. We invite you to join us, and to connect with other music-lovers around the world.

Enjoy the spectacle of a live symphony orchestra with your family.

Our family concerts are specially designed to entertain the whole family. Let us guide you through a themed programme featuring popular favourites alongside music you’ll never have heard before.

Presented in a unique and engaging way, you won’t need to sit in silence for these concerts – we always offer the chance to participate, and you can get into the spirit with free activities and immersive workshops in the Barbican foyers beforehand from 10am.
