Founded in 1947, the London Philharmonic Choir is widely regarded as one of Britain’s finest choirs, consistently meeting with great critical acclaim. It has performed under leading international conductors for almost 70 years and made numerous recordings for CD, radio and television. Enjoying a close relationship with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the Choir frequently joins it for concerts in the UK and abroad. Highlights in recent years have included Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 under the Orchestra’s Principal Guest Conductor Andrés Orozco-Estrada, Rachmaninoff’s The Bells with Vasily Petrenko, Taneyev’s St John of Damascus and Szymanowski’s Stabat Mater under the Orchestra’s Principal Conductor and Artistic Advisor Vladimir Jurowski, and Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis with the Choir’s President, Sir Mark Elder. This season the Choir looks forward to a packed schedule of choral classics including Mozart’s Requiem and Mahler’s epic Symphony No. 8, the latter as part of the Choir’s 70th birthday celebrations in 2017.
