About
Founded in 1893 the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra is the Orchestra for the South and Southwest. At the BSO we are passionate about inspiring people of all ages and communities to take part in live music-making and musical events. We take pride in our delivery of world-class music and education projects to a home region of over 10,000 square miles. From urban conurbations to rural communities, the Orchestra strives to make music accessible to as many people as possible throughout the region.
The BSO brings the professional orchestra to 0-18 year olds via a wide range of school visits, workshops and coaching opportunities.
Much of our programme is designed in consultation with the Music Education Hubs across the South West of England.
Examples of our work include:
- Performing and workshops in schools and nursery settings
- Creating large-scale, inspirational projects where students get to perform alongside BSO musicians
- Presenting full orchestral concerts that promote school music making and enhance the curriculum
- Inspiring and supporting talented young musicians through coaching and masterclasses
- Developing CPD opportunities for teachers and music professionals
