The London Repertoire Orchestra is a London-based rehearsal orchestra founded in 1955 by composer, conductor and oboist Ruth Gipps. Inspired in part by Arthur Dennington's Modern Symphony Orchestra, and by Gwynne Kimpton's London Amateur Orchestra of World War 1, it was intended to provide opportunities for "students, young professionals and good amateurs" to become exposed to a wider range of music. It also provided valuable experience with an orchestra for intending soloists to try through the concerto repertoire. Julian Lloyd Webber was one of those to benefit from this, and later he gave the first London performance of the Bliss Cello Concerto with Gipps conducting the Chanticleer Orchestra.
