After the departure of Welser-Möst, the LPO was without a principal conductor for four years.  During the interregnum, the orchestra inaugurated its "Roots Classical Fusions" series, which aimed to combine musical traditions from around the world; this was part of an education and community programme launched by the orchestra.<ref>[http://www.lpo.org.uk/about/history.html "History"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150207164348/http://www.lpo.org.uk/about/history.html |date=7 February 2015 }}, London Philharmonic Orchestra.
