Current Season

The final subscription concert of our 2021-22 season was 'Reflections of Italy' which took place in the Pamoja Hall at Sevenoaks School on Sunday 8th May. Centred on an Italian theme, the programme included Rossini's Overture to The Italian Girl in Algiers and Mendelssohn's Italian Symphony.  We also played one of Elgar's most popular short pieces, his String Serenade and Beethoven's third piano concerto featuring pianist Christos Fountos.

For our final event before the summer, we will invite our patrons and friends to a 'soiree musicale'. This will take place on Wednesday 29th June at our normal rehearsal venue, Sevenoaks Primary School.  We will send out more details nearer the time.

Ukraine Crisis

At our concert on Saturday 5^th March, we made a collection for the British Red Cross DEC Ukraine Appeal. Thanks to the generous support given by our audience and performers alike, we have been able to raise more than £2,000 for this appeal. Your donations will help support people affected by the conflict, both in Ukraine and the neighbouring countries. Thank you.

About us 

The Sevenoaks Symphony Orchestra is made up of 70 local musicians with a professional conductor and leader. We are set up as a charity.  Our aim is to make live orchestral music available locally, so we are delighted to share some recent audience reactions :

"A joy to see so many enthusiastic, talented, committed people enjoying playing together "

"...a really beautiful sound and carefully phrased lyricism from the strings; a superb atmosphere generated and held'"

"...how great last night's concert was... Symphony From the New World is one of my all-time favourites and you guys smashed it! "

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 at Sevenoaks Primary School, on Bradbourne Park Road. If you are an instrumentalist thinking of joining the orchestra, please use the Contact us page
