Welcome to the London International Orchestra website

The London International Orchestra was formed in 1986 by the late eminent conductor and musicologist Dr Solly Aronowsky and Sarah Aaronson OBE. 

The Orchestra is composed of dedicated musicians of all ages, nationalities, denominations and occupations, including doctors, students, lawyers, dentists, scientists, youth prizewinners, professionals and ex-professionals. They are united in their love of music and furtherance of charity.
