London Octave started playing as a group of friends who wanted to play for their own enjoyment as well as the enjoyment of their audience. They realize that each time they start a concert, each   player and each listener is hoping for an occasion, a musical event.  Everyone hopes to experience spontaneity and life.

The players find that a special sort of attentive listening is important. Whether or not they are playing with a conductor , it is "listening"  coupled with mutual trust that gives the players their remarkable unanimity of ensemble and spirit.

The group can dare to play freely and let the music flow. Audiences find London Octave performances fresh and full of life
