Becoming an LMP Friend will give you an opportunity to build relationships with our musicians that go beyond the concert hall, and get to know more about the people behind each instrument.

Support our work

Membership of LMP Friends provides vital financial support that enables us to create exciting new concert series and develop our award-winning education and community outreach projects. By joining as a Friend, your membership helps the orchestra to achieve the highest level of artistic excellence, inspires young people to become the classical music audiences of tomorrow, and allows us to maintain our position as one of the premier chamber orchestras in the UK.

Joining the LMP Friends has given me the opportunity to join a community of people who share my passion for classical music.

I became an LMP Friend in 2019 after meeting LMP on a side-by-side project as part of an Orchestral Management Scheme whilst at University. I was then lucky enough to join LMP as Orchestral Manager in 2020, though sadly my start date coincided with the first COVID lockdown. Since then, I have had the chance to get to know more of the LMP Friends over Zoom, and although it’s not quite the same the sense of community never disappears.

Jessica C. LMP Friend

I have enjoyed the music-making of LMP for many years, admiring both the variety of their repertoire and the orchestra’s consistency of quality. I became a Friend in order to help to ensure the future for these wonderful players and their excellent support staff.

Andy S. LMP Friend

Before the pandemic I enjoyed attending the occasional LMP concert, including at JAM on the Marsh. I very much admire the community development work that the LMP does and the involvement in schools and care homes. When everything shut down it became important to protect those things that need to continue when the restrictions are lifted. That’s why I became a member of the Friends. As a Friend I have very much enjoyed the on-line events and I am looking forward to attending a live concert soon.

Val M.LMP Friend

We are definitely very glad we did join the Friends, as we have thoroughly enjoyed the very friendly coffee meetings on Zoom, Julia and Peter’s great enthusiasm for the orchestra, and the very interesting talks and recitals, as well as giving us insights into the orchestra and its numerous and varied events. We’ve been so impressed that the LMP has been able to continue operating so admirably during the pandemic, and is so diverse in its extensive schedule.
