About Us:
The London Community Orchestra showcases some of the outstanding talent in this region. Since 1996, the Orchestra has performed a variety of classical, "pop", and holiday music. Presenting an average of four orchestra concerts a year, the organization also sponsors the Patriotic Band Concert for July Independence holiday. Guest artists perform with the Orchestra on some occasions.
We are proud that many of our musicians are from communities throughout Southeastern Kentucky. They vary in age, youth to retirees, and include amateurs, students, and professionals. Are you a musician interested in performing with the Orchestra? Contact the Musical Director, Jack Walker of London.
First Baptist Church serves as the main Performance Venue. The Laurel County Courthouse Main Street entrance and the London Community Center host concerts some seasons.
Community support sustains the Orchestra through season ticket sales, contributions and volunteer participation. Purchases of season ticket subscriptions, online or by mail, provide initial funding for the annual budget. The Board of Directors strives to continue to bring musical opportunities in education and performance to our region. The board members seek additional funding opportunities throughout the year in addition to their active involvement with concert events. Office space is provided for the Orchestra Board's use.
