The London Symphony Orchestra's "By George!" series has been awarded the 2003 Royal Philharmonic Society Award for Concert Series or Festival.


In this extensive year-long series curated by Benjamin, the LSO gave him the rare opportunity to present his own works, juxtaposed with a range of composers whose music he most admires. These concerts, which included the world premieres of his Palimpsests and Shadowlines, were complemented by a wide variety of ancillary events which drew large and enthusiastic audiences.
