London Philharmonic Orchestra embarks on digital residency with Marquee TV

The London Philharmonic Orchestra (LPO) has announced its plans to embark on a two-year digital residency with streaming service Marquee TV.

In the first year, 12 concerts will be broadcast: 10 from the LPO's 2021/22 Royal Festival Hall season.

Viewers will be able to watch soloists, including artist-in-residence Julia Fischer; soprano Christiane Karg, and cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason, perform with the orchestra.

These concerts will be free for 48 hours, after which they will be added to the LPO collection of concerts, and accessible to Marquee TV subscribers. In order to watch the concerts, you will need to create a free account with Marquee TV and log in. Click here for more information.

The LPO is also continuing its partnership with Intersection (formerly Silent Studios), who helped with the creative capture and presentation of LPO digital concerts last season, and are developing digital presentation appropriate for the LPO’s hybrid live-digital concerts in 2021/22. Intersection will work with the LPO’s long term audio recording partners K&A Productions, who provide the sound.

David Burke, chief executive of the London Philharmonic Orchestra, says: 'I am delighted to be building on our relationship with Marquee TV and Intersection in this way. The LPO is proud of its digital output during lockdown, providing entertainment, comfort and escapism to many people.

'Through this work, we have welcomed new audiences both in the UK and internationally: we have seen how the pandemic has changed our industry and we are committed to continually developing ways for people to experience the Orchestra, wherever they are.'
