The London Musicians' Collective (LMC) is a cultural charity based in London, England devoted to the promotion of contemporary, experimental and improvised music. From its foundation in 1975 until its reorganization in 2009, the LMC organized concerts, festivals, tours, workshops and publications in support of experimental music.
In 2002 the LMC was awarded a community radio licence to broadcast a new radio station, Resonance FM, in central London. It also produced a magazine, Resonance, and a range of CDs.
The LMC is funded by donations, membership fees and grants. It is supported by Arts Council England and the The PRS Foundation for New Music.
In 2009 the LMC ceased all operations other than being the operator of Resonance FM.
