Starting out as the Insurance Orchestra, the London Phoenix Orchestra was founded in 1924 by Harold Rawlinson to provide members of the Insurance industry with an opportunity to meet regularly and enjoy playing music together. This fundamental enthusiasm for music and a friendly ethos remains at the heart of the Orchestra’s purpose to this day. Today, players are drawn from all backgrounds, not just the Insurance industry and include students.

The London Phoenix Orchestra is an open Orchestra, always striving to improve its standards and interested in seeking new and additional players. Not all sections seek new players at all times of course but please contact us if you would like to join and we will arrange an audition for you. Enquiries are welcome from new players who are of at least Grade 8 standard and have some orchestral experience.
