London Classical Players
The London Classical Players (LCP) was a British
Among their famous concert series was "The Beethoven Experience" in 1987,[3] and "The Berlioz Experience" in 1988.[4] In 1996, the LCP was invited to open the Prague Spring Festival in the traditional opening festival concert of Bedrich Smetana's Ma Vlast, a controversial decision at the time.[5]
In 1997 the LCP formally dissolved and its work was absorbed into the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment.[6]
