American Friends
Introduced by HRH The Duke of Kent


I invite you to join the American Friends of the London Philharmonic Orchestra, one of the world's finest symphony orchestras.

Founded in 1932 by the great Sir Thomas Beecham, the London Philharmonic Orchestra has made an outstanding contribution to classical music over the years and endeavours to bring the joy of live music to a diverse audience through its concerts, tours, recordings and a dynamic education and community programme.

The Orchestra has visited the United States many times since its first tour in 1970 under the baton of Bernard Haitink. We welcome the opportunity to build a closer relationship with our American supporters.

The American Friends of the London Philharmonic Orchestra support the Orchestra in all aspects of its work and in return there are unique benefits to becoming an American Friend.
