The London Philharmonic Orchestra will present 7 BrightSparks concerts this academic year at Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall. The concerts are aimed at Key Stages 1, 2, 3 and within this model the LPO is delighted to launch its first GCSE concert this season.
Across the year the Concerts will provide 15,000 pupils with the chance to hear a live Orchestra. The programming and presentation of the concerts are designed in line with National Curriculum objectives.
For a large proportion of pupils these events are the first time they will have visited a concert hall to hear a live orchestra, giving them an intense and inspiring experience. Through the generous support of Deutsche Bank the LPO is able to offer all tickets for these concerts completely FREE* to schools.
“A valuable music experience that builds on knowledge that we try to impart in our music curriculum.”
St William of York RC Primary School, Lewisham

Darrell Primary School, Richmond

Join the London Philharmonic Orchestra for a journey through story and music. Aimed at Key stage 2 pupils, the concert will explore how harmonies, texture and melody are used to support storytelling and create landscapes, scenes and characters. This concert features the world première of a new piece of music by composer David Bruce, inspired by the Iranian epic poem Shahnameh (The Book of Kings). In the piece, the Orchestra will perform with young violinists from Jessop and Ashmole Primary Schools, Iranian musicians, and music students from City University. Together they will transport the audience to the Mountain of Gems to discover the wonderful story of Prince Zal and the magical bird that saves him.
