London Orchestra live in Corfu

Experience London Orchestra live on September 12th

The London Orchestra is scheduled to perform at the Old Fortress in Corfu, Greece on September 12, 2026. The orchestra is recognized for its interpretations of both classical and contemporary repertoire, frequently performing works by British composers alongside established orchestral standards from across European musical history. Their performances often emphasize clarity of sound and dynamic range, showcasing a broad stylistic versatility.

The Old Fortress, locally known as *Paleo Frourio*, is a Venetian fortress constructed primarily between 1537 and 1680. Built on a rocky peninsula, it initially served to protect the city of Corfu from Ottoman attacks. The fortress’s design incorporates elements of Renaissance fortification architecture, including robust walls, bastions and a lighthouse. Throughout its history, it has been modified and expanded under various ruling powers – Venetian, French and British – reflecting shifts in military strategy and control of the island. Today, it stands as a significant historical landmark offering panoramic views of Corfu Town and the Ionian Sea; it is a popular destination for tourists interested in the island's rich cultural heritage. The space within the fortress occasionally hosts cultural events due to its unique acoustics and historical atmosphere.
