The Sevenoaks Symphony Orchestra is made up of 70 local musicians with a professional conductor and leader. We are set up as a charity, and our aim is to make live orchestral music available locally.
Our three subscription concerts each season 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 we present our very popular Family Concerts in October and a Taste of Classics concert in the New Year, a short mid-week concert with complimentary glass of wine.
Most of our concerts take place in the Stag Sevenoaks, our local theatre. We rehearse each Wednesday from 8-10.15pm at Sevenoaks Primary School.
Joanna Kiely (Chairman)
In 2020, the Sevenoaks Symphony Orchestra will celebrate the 75th anniversary of its first concert which took place in May 1945.
We look forward to an exciting programme, details will be released once our brochure is published.
We begin each season with an informal afternoon event, the 'Play for Pleasure'.
After a summer break, this is the best way to blow away the cob-webs and it is also a great opportunity for new players to come along and give us a try. This year's piece is Brahms' 4th Symphony. We will spend some time rehearsing the symphony from 2.30, then have a cup of tea and cake before performing the piece to a small, invited audience, finishing around 5.15 p.m. Join us in the main hall at Sevenoaks Primary School.
