Our plans for 2010

After an exciting year on 2009, during which we celebrated our 25th anniversary with some very special concerts, we enter a new year (new decade, even!) with plans for more of the same. Our first two concerts this year are detailed on the Concerts page.

The first, on Sunday 21st March is a collaborative effort with Wymondham College. The college has an excellent reputation for their musical activities, and it is a delight to be able to work with the staff and pupils. Some pupils will be joining the WSO for rehearsals and the concert, a valuable musical experience for them. Also, the College’s Concert Band will perform a number of pieces as part of the concert.

With tickets at only £5, and all children free, this is a wonderful opportunity to experience a slice of Norfolk music making from young and old (!) alike.

 We look forward to welcoming you to future WSO concerts.

We’re in our 26th year now, but we can’t resist leaving this picture of the cake made specially for our 25th Anniversary by our principal oboist Christine Godfrey

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 on 21st March. We’re collaborating with Wymondham College in what we hope will be a very special evening. Find out more here...
