Today, we’re announcing that Flynn Le Brocq will leave LMP at the end of August 2025 after an incredible 4 years.
Flynn has accepted an exciting new position as Director of Admissions at Uppingham School where he will continue to inspire and lead in a new capacity with a return to the education sector.
“It has been an absolute privilege to lead this wonderful orchestra. LMP’s culture is truly special and that is down to the incredible versatility and creativity of both our players and management team. Whether it has been building snow machines, taking the orchestra overseas, putting an organ in a shopping centre, sending GoPros inside instruments or pushing the boundaries of what it means to be an orchestra in the 21st century, LMP is able to turn its hand to almost anything.
I’m immensely proud of the collaborations and the artistic partnerships we’ve built, and I feel confident about the future of this extraordinary organisation. While I may be stepping away from my role as CEO, I’ll still keep in touch with LMP from the sidelines – you might even spot me raising a glass of wine at a Tasting Notes event soon.”
-Flynn Le Brocq
“We are incredibly grateful for the significant impact Flynn has had during his time with LMP. His leadership has been instrumental in securing the orchestra’s financial future, streamlining its governance, and pushing us to reach ambitious goals. Thanks to his dedication and tireless work, LMP is well positioned for the future. While we are sad to see him leave, we are excited for what lies ahead for him and have no doubt he will excel in his next role.”Sir Robet Lechler, Chair of LMP Board
Since joining LMP in 2021, Flynn has been a transformative force, guiding LMP through a period of artistic innovation, community engagement and organisational growth. Building on the orchestra’s distinguished 76-year history, Flynn has continued to combine legacy with evolution.
Oratorio of Hope, the opening event for Croydon’s term as London Borough of Culture in 2023, pushed the orchestra’s artistic boundaries, creating a multi-genre spectacular that was later shortlisted for a prestigious Royal Philharmonic Society Award.
The following year, in celebration of our 75th anniversary, the orchestra launched 100 Faces of Croydon – a community-led photography and music project that reflected the diversity and spirit of Croydon, reinforcing our 35-year legacy as the borough’s Resident Orchestra.
Flynn’s time at LMP also saw the launch Tasting Notes in 2022, an innovative musical wine tasting experience that quickly became one of our most popular offerings. Under his leadership, we have forged new relationships with promoters and agents, enabling a return to international touring and the creation of a growing network of supporters in the United States – the American Friends of LMP.
We look forward to continuing the journey Flynn helped shape and wish him every success in this exciting new chapter.
