In the charity's own words
The Trowbridge Symphony Orchestra (TSO) performs three main concerts a year with a view to presenting high quality classical music to audiences at reasonable admission prices. We are keen to encourage young musicians (e.g. through an active association with Wiltshire Young Musicians, another local charity) and don't charge subscriptions for people in full time education.
