The London Philharmonic Orchestra was founded by Sir Thomas Beecham in 1932. In recognition of his great vision, the Thomas Beecham Group was established in celebration of the Orchestra’s 75th anniversary.
Some of the Orchestra’s most generous donors belong to this special group. They are closely involved with the musicians and the management team, and play a significant role in the life of the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
Members of the Thomas Beecham Group are invited to support an orchestral chair and in return enjoy unparalleled access to our players and a wide range of unique additional benefits.
