Matt Smith - London Musical Theatre Orchestra

Matt Smith

LMTO has given me such a wide range of experience, as well as helping me make invaluable contacts and friends, including West End players and professional composers and orchestrators.

Without having had LMTO to give me such experience and opportunities during my studies and early career, I would not be where I am today, for which I will be forever grateful.

Support us

LMTO is committed to sharing the visceral thrill of musicals performed with a full-scale professional orchestra. As a registered charity, we use the revenue from our performances to support the work we do through our Sitz programme and have previously supported the Devs Scheme and Upbeat, both of which are coming to a close this year. Our ticket revenue only makes up around 55% of our annual income needs, so we rely on the generosity of individuals and Trusts and Foundations to achieve our objectives.

Sitz

Each month, over 100 musicians and singers gather at Bishopsgate Institute to sing and play though the score of a musical in private. The result is extraordinary. Fancy coming along?
