Edward Gardner has been our Principal Conductor since 2021, succeeding Vladimir Jurowski who in the same year became Conductor Emeritus. Karina Canellakis is our current Principal Guest Conductor, and Sir George Benjamin our Composer-in-Residence.

We’re one of the world’s most-streamed orchestras, and millions of people worldwide enjoy our content on YouTube, TikTok and Instagram. You can hear us on countless film soundtracks, and we’ve released over 130 albums on our own LPO Label.

We’re committed to inspiring the next generation of musicians: our dynamic and wide-ranging Education and Community programme provides first musical experiences for children and families; offers creative projects and professional development opportunities for schools and teachers; inspires talented teenage instrumentalists to progress their skills; and develops the next generation of professional musicians.
