Smith named London Chamber Orchestra partner artist

PIPPA SMITH has been appointed as a partner artist at London Chamber Orchestra (LCO) for the next three seasons.

Her appointment follows a successful trial in 2021/22, which saw Smith create a series of artworks for the orchestra’s 100th anniversary season. For the launch of the 2022/23 season, Smith is working on a two-block reduction print.

 “The partnership with LCO has come as a huge, exhilarating surprise to me. I am so excited to be working alongside such a well-established and respected organisation that has taken such big steps to embrace inclusivity, diversity and equality,” Smith said.

“I firmly believe that who we are shapes our art, and if stifled or marginalised, so becomes our creative product. It is thrilling that LCO seems to mirror this, which really does cement our compatibility.”
