London Musical Arts

Welcome to London Musical Arts.

We are a versatile performing organisation featuring orchestras, ensembles and a choir.

Many of our early music programmes are performed on original instruments and feature short illustrative talks by Music Director, John Landor.

History

Since 1992 we have been based at the historic church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields in London's Trafalgar Square, where we present some 20 concerts each year.

Formed by John Landor in 1985, we have played at many London venues including the Queen Elizabeth Hall and St. John's Smith Square, performed at the St. James's Festival and Greenwich Festival and toured Italy. We have also developed music education programmes and presented many talented young soloists to the public.
