Welcome to our 2011-12 season

Our forthcoming season promises to be an exciting one for Wymondham Symphony Orchestra and our audiences. We’ve got lots of variety and plenty to whet your appetite.

Our November concert will be in Swaffham Parish Church on Saturday 26th, as part of the Swaffham Arts season. Entitled “Russian Legends”, it’ll be a great ride for players and audience alike. More...

We return to our ‘home’ venue of Wymondham Abbey for our Spring Concert in 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, now! More...

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

Last Night of the Proms (Abbey Style) . . .

A packed audience in Wymondham Abbey showed the Albert Hall crowd how it should be done! On September 24th, WSO combined with Wymondham Choral Society to raise the roof and lots of money for the Abbey Development Fund. 

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 Autumn concert in Swaffham Parish Church on 26 November. More....
