Orchestra’s President

We recently invited Sir Peter Maxwell Davies to be our President and he has very graciously accepted.

Concert admission prices

In order to encourage more of a family audience, the committee has agreed that accompanied children (up to age 16) will be admitted free. We hope this will make live classical and orchestral music more easily accessible to children and young people, who are our future audience.
