This residency originated from our desire to collaborate with the leading orchestras of the world. After having had the Berlin Philharmonic in residency, inviting the LSO seemed obvious because of its high standards and its impressive educational projects. The performances in Aix have confirmed its exceptional artistic level. Over four years, we have been developing together activities around instrumental practice. LSO musicians have coached the Orchestre des Jeunes de la Méditerranée, a symphonic ensemble with young artists coming from the Mediterranean Basin. We have established coaching programmes, gathering experienced young musicians and beginners within the Junior Orchestra. LSO Discovery has been leading workshops with different communities. A memorable example is ‘Boras’, a project where LSO musicians helped mothers and children from the Comorian community of Marseille to present a beautiful performance based on traditional Comorian lullabies. This collaboration has built a bridge from the Thames to the Mediterranean Sea and contributes towards us achieving one of our dearest tasks: to open Europe’s doors to Mediterranean culture.
