Happy Birthday Beethoven!
Yesterday at St John’s Smith Square the LMP & Howard Shelley celebrated the anniversary of Beethoven’s birthday with a lunchtime concert exploring his 3rd piano concerto. This performance marked the third concert in the Beethoven Explored series and was the LMP’s final concert of 2015.
Guests were all invited to join in the festivities and enjoy a beautiful cake baked by co-principal cellist Julia Desbruslais after the concert.
Thanks to everyone who joined us for the concert and helped with the eating of cake! Looking forward to seeing you all again in the New Year for the remaining concerts in the Mozart & Beethoven Explored series.
PRESS RELEASE: Laura van der Heijden announced as LMP’s first Young Artist in Residence
We are pleased to announce that cellist Laura van der Heijden has been appointed ‘Young Artist in Residence’ with the London Mozart Players.

The new partnership will commence officially in June 2015 with the opening concert of the Portsmouth Festivities on 19 June 2015. Further concerts take place in September and January of next season.
Laura van der Heijden comments: ‘I am thrilled that the London Mozart Players have chosen me to be their first Young Artist in Residence. Playing with them feels like chamber music, the way they play is very inspiring, the atmosphere is so supportive and working with them is always lots of fun.’
The Directors remark on the appointment of the LMP’s first ever Young Artist in Residence: ‘We are delighted to have a close association with such a vibrant and enterprising young cellist who clearly has an exciting career ahead of her’.
