The Concert

Our relaxed concerts are tailored for people who have sensory and communication impairments, or who are neurodiverse. Everyone over the age of 5 who feels more comfortable attending concerts in an easy-going environment is welcome.

This short concert will introduce you to orchestral instruments and chamber music. Friendly introductions from our presenter will guide you through the concert, and large print programmes are available for free. There is a chance to ask questions in the Q&A session. What to expect at a Relaxed Concert.

While our venue LSO St Luke’s is closed for a programme of works and upgrades for much of 2025, we’re taking LSO Discovery on tour all over London. For this concert, we’re visiting our neighbours in the City at St Giles Cripplegate – just over the lakeside from the Barbican, where the LSO is Resident Orchestra.

Not suitable for under-5s. Please note date.

Your Visit

Doors open at 12pm. These events are popular, and unreserved seating is limited, so we recommend arriving in good time to secure your place.

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 before you book, please email community@lso.co.uk.
