They perform throughout London and the UK in venues ranging from traditional concert halls, to schools and hospitals, alternative venue spaces and diverse community settings. Led by Artistic Director, Stephen Layton, and Principal Conductor, Michael Collins, they regularly work with world class artists as well as up and coming talent, including in the last year: Gwilym Simcock, Mara Carlyle, Polyphony, Hugh Brunt, Roderick Williams and Elin Manahan Thomas. CLS perform across London at all the major concert halls and venues, as well as St Paul’s Cathedral and other venues in the City of London and on the fringes. They are resident orchestra at the capital’s popular Opera Holland Park and regular guests at major UK festivals, performing at the BBC Proms, Brighton, Spitalfields Music and Cheltenham Festivals last year.
