Partner Charity Led
A Partner Charity may take primacy for all non-musical matters relating to the event and receive all proceeds. The partner charity covers all agreed orchestra expenses (Approximately £1,000 for music, conductor and soloist expenses plus traveling expenses if outside of London) and is responsible for booking the venue. The LCO is able to assist in promoting the event through a mailing list and 'Friends Scheme.'
LCO Led
The LCO aims to perform approximately four full orchestral concerts per year. From time to time, where there are substantial gaps between planned events in the orchestra diary and sufficient funds available, the LCO may book a date at a venue such as St. John's, Smith Square. A partner charity will then be sought to assist primarily with the promotion of the event
