London Mozart Players

London Mozart Players The oldest, freshest and most adventurous chamber orchestra in the UK.

Founded in 1949 by Harry Blech, London Mozart Players is the UK's longest established chamber orchestra. Known for its unmistakable British roots, the orchestra has developed an outstanding reputation for adventurous, ambitious programming. From Baroque through to genre-crossing contemporary music, London Mozart Players is constantly exploring new venues and audiences through collaborations with a

rtists and personalities from all over the creative scene. The ensemble has enjoyed a long history of association with many of the world's finest musical personalities including Igor Stravinsky, Sir James Galway, Dame Felicity Lott, Jane Glover, Julian Lloyd Webber, Stephen Hough, Nicola Benedetti, John Suchet and Simon Callow. Away from their commitment to live performances across the UK, London Mozart Players also undertake an international touring schedule which has seen them give performances in the Far East, Austria, the Netherlands, Italy, Germany, France, Belgium and Spain. A long relationship with classical label Chandos has led to a series of over 20 recordings, including works by Mozart, Beethoven, Hadyn, Clementi, Salieri and Stamitz. In 2016, London Mozart Players relocated their home to St John the Evangelist, Upper Norwood, undertaking a rich programme of initiatives within the local community. The ensemble are the only professional orchestra in the UK to be managed both operationally and artistically by the players, and has enjoyed the patronage of HRH The Earl of Wessex since 1988.

It’s people like Julia who make LMP what it is. We love hearing how being part of our Friends community has become such an important part of her concert-going experience.

(Also, shout-out to Julia’s husband for being Tasting Notes’ number one fan 🍷)

This is the final film in our mini All stories start somewhere series. Thank you for following along as we’ve introduced just a few of the wonderful people helping to bring our 2026/27 season to life.

We hope to see you at a concert soon. 💙

Break a leg? ❌ Break a…violin? ✔️

We’re gearing up to expect the unexpected when Roderick Williams - Baritone joins us at St Martin-in-the-Fields this October for some Mozart opera arias.

(We’ve been reassured that no violins will be harmed in our 2026/27 season 👀)

One more video in our All stories start somewhere series to come this week 📹

We were pretty moved to hear that after an accident meant she could no longer play the violin, Riya found a new way to keep music in her life through singing.

Her story makes it feel that extra bit special that she’ll be joining us next February to sing Mozart’s Requiem with Trinity Boys Choir and Trinity Girls Choir at Fairfield Halls We can’t wait 🫶

This is the third film in our All stories start somewhere series, where we’re introducing some of the wonderful people helping bring our 2026/27 season to life.

Big dreams have to start somewhere, and for our Principal Conductor, Jonathan, they often begin in the pages of his notebook ✍️

We think it’s pretty special that our 2026/27 season first existed as ideas scribbled across these very pages. And we’re looking forward to seeing what he has in store for seasons to come…👀

This is the second film in our All stories start somewhere series, where we’re sharing the people, ideas and moments behind our new season. Stay tuned for the next story later this week
