The London Symphony Orchestra continues to generate an enviable reputation for quite outstanding orchestral performances during its residency at The Barbican in The City of London. The orchestra attracts the world's greatest soloists and conductors every season, including Rostropovich, Maxim Vengerov, Anne-Sophie Mutter, Andre Previn and Sir Colin Davis, whose Berlioz, Bruckner and Sibelius cycles were landmarks.

If great orchestral playing excites you, then a visit to the Barbican will not disappoint especially in 2004, their Centenary Year!
