We are very sorry to hear of the death of Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Kent.

Her dedication and love of music was and will continue to be an inspiration to us. Our thoughts are with our Patron, His Royal Highness The Duke of Kent, and her loved ones at this sad time.

A privilege of working with our namesake @lporchestra.bsky.social is the opportunity for a pair of volunteers to go to Glyndebourne.

This year Katie, our former Honorary Secretary, and Charlie, our Diversity and Wellbeing Officer, enjoyed a performance of Rossini’s “Il barbiere di Siviglia” ☀️🎶❤️

So much science has shown how positively music, and in particular singing, improves our mental health that we thought we’d take a look at that this month.
