Join the London Choral Sinfonia to launch its 2026/27 Season in a thrilling blaze of music for organ and orchestra. The LCS orchestra is joined by organist James Orford (St Paul’s Cathedral) for two of the great twentieth-century concertos. Poulenc’s fiery Organ Concerto for solo organ, strings and timpani opens the programme. Bach’s masterpiece Fantasia & Fugue in G minor - on which Poulenc based his Concerto - follows. The programme culminates with Malcolm Arnold’s powerful and uplifting Concerto for Organ & Orchestra, featuring brass, strings and percussion. Released last year to great critical acclaim, the LCS recording of the Arnold Concerto was included in Gramophone’s annual Editor’s Top Choices, and received 5-star reviews in BBC Music Magazine and Choir & Organ.

The spectacular Walker organ of St John the Evangelist, Islington, will be put through its paces. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience this music live.
