Alongside the standard classical repertoire, the London City Philharmonic has performed the UK premiere of Fredrik Gran Picture of Fields without Fences and Branka Popovic's Stardust for Viola and String Orchestra, both prize winners of the London Music Society Composers competition and also the UK premiere of Fatos Lumani Piano Concerto and the world premiere of Alex McGery Tereza on Petrin Hill for solo violin & string orchestra.

In doing so, the London City Philharmonic supports the musical community by providing performance opportunities to young musicians, promoting contemporary works, and making such works more approachable by complementing them with the standard classical music repertoire that is more familiar to the broader public.

We welcome collaborations with Opera companies and Choral Societies. If you would like to get in touch, please email us at: info@londoncityphilharmonic.co.uk
