They may quite commonly also refer to themselves or be referred to through their specific area within the United Kingdom, i.e. English, Welsh, Scottish, or Ulster (also Northern Irish). The last one of those is specially problematic due to the complex nationality identity issues in Northern Ireland, and Ulster citizens are also entitled to see themselves as Irish since 1998`s Good Friday Agreement. |

The London Symphony Orchestra (LSO) is the oldest of London's symphony orchestras. On 9 June 1904, the LSO gave its first concert, conducted by Hans Richter at the Queen's Hall. It was also the first British orchestra to tour abroad, to Paris in 1906.
The LSO underwent periods of eclipse in the 1930s and 1950s when it was regarded as inferior in quality to new London orchestras, to which it lost players and bookings: the BBC Symphony Orchestra and the London Philharmonic in the 1930s and the Philharmonia and Royal Philharmonic after the Second World War. By the 1960s the LSO had recovered its leading position, which it has retained subsequently.
As a self-governing body, the orchestra selects the conductors with whom it works. At some stages in its history, it has dispensed with a principal conductor and worked only with guests. Among conductors with whom it is most associated are, in its early days, Hans Richter, Sir Edward Elgar, and Sir Thomas Beecham, and in more recent decades Pierre Monteux, André Previn, Claudio Abbado, Sir Colin Davis, and Valery Gergiev.
Since 1982, the LSO has been based in the Barbican Centre in the City of London. Among its programmes there have been large-scale festivals celebrating composers as diverse as Berlioz, Mahler and Bernstein. The LSO claims to be the world's most recorded orchestra; it has made gramophone recordings since 1912 and has played on more than 200 soundtrack recordings for the cinema, of which the best known include the Star Wars series.
