About London Mozart Players
The London Mozart Players (LMP) is the UK’s first professional chamber orchestra, founded over 75 years ago by Harry Blech to perform the works of Mozart and Haydn. Today, their mission is to create bold, ambitious, and accessible musical experiences for everyone.
Based at Fairfield Halls in Croydon and with residencies across the UK – including here at St John’s in Upper Norwood – the LMP works with world-renowned soloists and conductors, performs both classical favourites and new compositions, and inspires the next generation through work with schools, music hubs, and young artists. Past protégés include Jacqueline du Pré, Nicola Benedetti, and Jan Pascal Tortelier.
