"The ensemble clicks perfectly, the playing seemingly effortless and a regard for precision never stifling the musicians’ natural feeling for life and breath."
BBC Music Magazine

London Conchord Ensemble was formed in 2002 by internationally recognised young soloists, chamber musicians and principals from the BBC Symphony Orchestra, the Royal Opera House Orchestra, the Philharmonia and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe.

Conchord made its Wigmore Hall debut in October 2002 and followed with a European debut at the Schleswig-Holstein festival. The group performs across the UK, Europe and North America and make regular live appearances on BBC Radio 3. The past season has included a 10 concert tour to Ireland including Dublin Castle and performances at Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Tonhalle Düsseldorf, Windsor Festival. The ensemble performs regularly with leading British vocalists and recent collaborations have included Andrew Kennedy, James Gilchrist, Katherine Broderick and Dame Felicity Lott. Future seasons include return performances in Germany, the United States and the Wigmore Hall in addition to a diary teeming with concerts in the festivals, music societies and concert halls in the United Kingdom.

Conchord has a busy recording career, having already made several discs for Sanctuary Classics/ASV, Black Box and Quartz. Their last recording, a double CD with concertos by J S Bach, has been critically acclaimed and chosen as Henry Kelly's CD of the week on Classic FM. In 2010 they are going to release their latest album "St Petersburg" on Orchid Classics.
