Biography
London Contemporary Orchestra draws together London’s brightest young talent to explore and promote contemporary music to an increasingly wide audience. LCO's aim is to stimulate and enlighten through its fresh approach and dynamic performances. Formed in 2008, the LCO has worked alongside distinguished artists such as Matmos, Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood, Biosphere, Sound Intermedia, choreographer Darren Johnston, Mark-Anthony Turnage and United Visual Artists, and commissioned music from emerging composers, Emily Hall, Shiva Feshareki and Anna Meredith. Recent highlights include sell-out performances at the Roundhouse and Village Underground. Future performances include Aldeburgh Music’s Faster Than Sound, the Spitalfields Music Summer Festival, and a collaboration with sonic artists Simon Fisher Turner and Mira Calix at Latitude. LCO has recently been shortlisted for the Royal Philharmonic Society Music Awards 2010 (Audience Development category).
"Young, free and singularly special. Watch out London Sinfonietta and Nash Ensemble - there's a new kid on the block." Daily Telegraph
