About the SSO
The Sevenoaks Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1946, and is made up of local musicians, mainly amateurs or teachers of music, with a professional conductor and leader. We are set up as a charity, and our aim is to make live orchestral music available locally, something much appreciated particularly by those who cannot readily get to concerts further afield.
Our three subscription concerts each year focus particularly on 19th and 20th century masterpieces which are attractive and enjoyable for our audiences, and at the same time interesting and challenging for us as players.
In addition, once a year we present our very popular Family Concert, aimed particularly at children of primary school age, and in each alternate year we also team up with the Sevenoaks Philharmonic Choir for a joint concert.
We are very grateful to our many patrons for supporting the SSO.
