One of the core aims of the LNSO Foundation is to support the high‑quality work of the LNSO. The orchestra cannot function fully without good musical instruments. Over time, instruments wear out, and purchasing new ones is extremely expensive. There is no dedicated state funding for the acquisition of musical instruments, which is why the LNSO Foundation collects donations for this purpose.
Previously, LNSO supporters contributed the initial payment for the purchase of a new bassoon, which has delighted LNSO concert audiences for several years now. At present, a very urgent need is the replacement of the orchestra’s aging harp with a new instrument.
