Welcome to our 2011-12 season

Our next concert is in our ‘home’ venue of Wymondham Abbey for our Spring Concert on 24th March, which will feature three of the great 19th century composers. We will be joined by Kwesi Edman and his ‘cello for the majestic Dvorak concerto. More...

Our summer concert also takes place in Wymondham Abbey. This is full of favourites including Beethoven’s 4th piano concerto (with the young and brilliant Richard Uttley on piano), Sibelius’ first Symphony and Copeland’s stirring Fanfare for the Common Man (appropriate just as we come up to the Olympics). Make a note of the date, 7th July. More...

More details on each of these concerts can be found on our concerts page.

2012 Open Rehearsal

This year our open rehearsal is on 28 February. We’re going to have a bash at Tchaikovsky’s 6th Symphony. Should be great fun. More details on our Rehearsals and Membership page.

WSO seeks a new Leader

Ralph Chadwick has done sterling work as our leader since 2007. However, he’s now decided it’s time to take a step back, so he is relinquishing the leadership. This means we are now looking for a new Leader to fill the post, so we are inviting applications for the post.

The successful candidate will be required to:

• lead the Orchestra at all rehearsals and concerts
• assist the conductor at all times
• take the string sectional rehearsals
• become a member of the Orchestra's committee and music sub-committee.

We have produced a job description which is available as a pdf document - click here to download a copy. If you are interested, we ask that you submit a CV by 31st March to our President, Adrienne Cleary, by e-mail. See our Contact Us page for details.

This date has been chosen to allow those interested to attend our next concert which is on the 24th March in Wymondham Abbey. Hear for yourself why we get lots of plaudits! Go to our Concerts page for more details.

If you’d like an informal chat about the post, or about WSO in general, please ring Adrienne - again, details on our Contact Us page

Wymondham Symphony Orchestra...

 is a friendly, lively and ambitious group of musicians that plays regular concerts at a variety of locations within the Norfolk area. We have received much critical acclaim for our sensitive and involving perfomances.

 We attract members from all walks of life and provide them with the satisfaction of playing in an ensemble that has the skill and confidence to play exciting and demanding works.

We have built up an enviable reputation, and are able to attract professional soloists of the highest calibre. We also encourage young talented soloists from Norfolk to play with us, often their first concerto with a symphony orchestra.

Generally, we play three concerts a year, although we occasionally undertake additional events. We also hold an annual Open Rehearsal (see the Rehearsals page for more details) and have regular social events. It’s not just about making music - we also like to have fun!

Our next concert...

is our Spring concert in Wymondham Abbey on 24 March. More....
