A message from HRH The Earl of Wessex
Patrons & Supporters
‘My sincerest congratulations to the London Mozart Players on their 70th anniversary. Here is an orchestra that, when times got tough, refused to lie down and instead took matters into their own hands. They are now the longest established chamber orchestra in the UK, and in my opinion rank with the best in the world. They possess an unfailing professionalism, artistry, and commitment to music, and it is always a pleasure to work with them.’
John Suchet
‘For 70 years the LMP has been delivering high-class performances to audiences in the capital, across the country, and beyond. It was my own huge privilege to lead this august group at the start of my own career, and my seven years at the helm were thrilling, joyful and immensely instructive. Here’s to the next 70 years!’
Jane Glover
‘The London Mozart Players is one of the great chamber orchestras of the world. It has the joy and refinement of Mozart at the heart of its sound and in the depths of its soul, but it also has the passion and power for Beethoven and far beyond. Happy 70th birthday and thank you for more than forty years of close and very happy collaboration.’
Howard Shelley
‘The London Mozart Players is one of the first major professional orchestras I ever performed with, and their legacy of supporting and collaborating with young artists is something that they have maintained over the years. Their presence, warmth and musicianship is as relevant now as it ever was, and I am thrilled they are celebrating such a landmark birthday this year. Congratulations to the LMP, for 70 wonderful years of music making and adding light and beauty to peoples’ lives. Here’s to another 70!’
Nicola Benedetti
‘Working with the LMP has been the most extraordinarily happy, fulfilling and replete experience a composer can have. Their openness and generosity of musical spirit meant that I was never afraid to ask advice or try things out with all of its fantastic players.’
