 The
London Philharmonic Orchestra's education programme started
in 1987 and is a key element of the orchestra's every day
life. Our work reaches over 150,000 young people a year through
our residencies at the South Bank Centre, The Congress Theatre
in Eastbourne and The Dome in Brighton.
Our programme consists of both formal and informal learning
projects. We have an extensive programme of workshops in schools,
with over a third of the orchestra's players taking part in
the education and community programme on a regular basis.
Our key boroughs, where work takes places are: Lambeth; Southwark
and Lewisham.

We aim for our practice to be at the forefront of national
and international orchestral education and community teams,
and will achieve this by the following means:
• By affirming the
contemporary relevance of orchestral repertoire and the role
of the orchestral musician/conductor/composer in diverse contexts;
• By fostering and
developing creativity amongst all our workshop participants;
• Acknowledging
the value of, and working with a diversity of musical forms
and styles, and where appropriate, work with reference to
other art forms;
• Through debate,
coming to a common understanding of standards of excellence
in delivery with an equal emphasis on both process and outcomes;
• Striving for excellence
in partnerships with schools, community organisations and
other groups involved with the London Philharmonic Orchestra;
• Through an approach
which promotes sustainable musical development with a variety
of partners;
• Showing commitment
to both individual player/workshop leader excellence, and
developing and maintaining a high performance team;
• Continuing our
own skills development and professional development with reference
to the needs of the field;
• Maintaining a
commitment to equality of opportunity at all times.
