The LPO in East Sussex
Exceptional music, right here in East Sussex.
What’s on at Eastbourne Congress Theatre
We performed at the Congress Theatre’s opening concert in 1963, and are proud to celebrate over 60 years of performances at the venue! Once again, the 2024/25 season at the Congress Theatre is filled with iconic works, outstanding soloists and charismatic conductors. Discover Sunday afternoons filled with wonder, from the opening concert with conductor Vinay Parameswaran and cellist Sterling Elliott, to Strauss’s Horn Concerto No. 2 with soloist Ben Goldscheider, Dvořák’s ‘New World’ Symphony under LPO Fellow Conductor Matthew Lynch, and the season finale with conductor Tarmo Peltokoski and pianist Jan Lisiecki.
