About us
The London Symphony Orchestra is one of the world’s top orchestras. Our home is at the Barbican in the City of London, where we perform over 80 concerts every year, and at LSO St Luke’s, a converted 18th-century church just up the road which is the base for our LSO Discovery community and education programme. We also run a record label, LSO Live. Each year we tour to several different countries, and return to some regularly where we have residencies.

“The label has become something that has a life of its own, and I think the fact that the LSO still has a recording policy that's directly related to its artistic policy means you can ensure that your recording output reflects what you believe in.” — Sir Clive Gillinson Did you know that LSO Live was the first artist-owned record label in classical music? We sat down with LSO Managing Director, Dame Kathryn McDowell, and the LSO’s former Managing Director Sir Clive Gillinson to discuss the foundation of LSO Live in 1999, their favourite recordings, and the vision for the future of the label.
