Founded by Neil McPherson, Artistic Director of the Finborough Theatre, Concordance is the Finborough Theatre's resident company. Since 2006, productions presented by Concordance are announced as "Finborough Theatre" productions.

Concordance's artistic policy is to present new writing and an idiosyncratic selection of unjustly neglected work from the from the 19th and 20th centuries.

Concordance is especially committed to music theatre and integrating music into its work, and is committed to productions featuring the writing of non-theatrical artists - poets, artists, novelists - and presenting their work in a theatrical setting.
