London Festival Orchestra
- London Festival Orchestra
The London Festival Orchestra is a well-known British orchestra. It was established in the 1950s as house orchestra for Decca Records, and incorporated as an independent performing orchestra in 1980 under Ross Pople. With the creation of BMG's new classical music label Arte Nove, it contracted the LFO to record the bulk of its new recordings in the late 1990s. They have also performed recordings for Deutsche Grammophon, Hyperion Records, The Moody Blues and Academy of Sound and Vision. They recorded a stereo demonstration record for Decca entitled "Dimensions in Sound."
In 1994, a permanent home for the orchestra was created in the Warehouse, in the heart of the South Bank, London. '
The home of the Orchestra featured on the Channel4 Program Grand Designs as the next-door neighbour to a featured project, whose treatment of a party wall they objected to.
