The New London Orchestra, an English orchestra based in London, was formed in 1941 by conductor Alec Sherman. The ensemble initially gained prominence during World War II when it was engaged by Dame Myra Hess for her series of wartime National Gallery concerts. Notable soloists who performed with the orchestra included Benno Moiseiwitsch and Clifford Curzon. The New London Orchestra continued to give concerts until the mid-1950s, making several recordings before Sherman announced his retirement in 1958. Revived in 1988 by Ronald Corp, the New London Orchestra specialized in rarely heard late 19th and 20th-century music. Under Corp's direction, the orchestra performed at four BBC Proms in the 1990s and presented numerous premieres of works by composers such as Frank Martin and Frederick Delius. The ensemble also focused on British Light Music and lesser-known works by well-known composers. In 2007, the New London Orchestra initiated its Newham Welcomes the World community project, becoming the first orchestra-in-residence at Stratford Circus in 2011.
