Composers Alexander Papp, Darius Paymai, Florence Anna Maunders, James Banner, and Robert Crehan join LCO New

London Chamber Orchestra (LCO) has announced the new cohort for its LCO New scheme, which supports emerging composers who haven’t yet heard their work performed by a professional orchestra. The five composers being supported are Alexander Papp, Darius Paymai, Florence Anna Maunders, James Banner, and Robert Crehan.

These composers will take part in meetings and collaborative group workshops throughout the summer with LCO's 21/22 Composer in Residence, Freya Waley-Cohen, offering participants the opportunity to work with LCO musicians to compose a new piece for LCO. All five new pieces will be performed and recorded at LCO’s 22/23 season opening concert.

To open its 2022-23 season, Christopher Warren-Green conducts the orchestra in Dani Howard's Fanfare, Dvorak's Symphony No. 9 and the five new works from the LCO New composers at St John's Smith Square on 23 September 2022.
