In the charity's own words
This highly acclaimed orchestra draws top talent from across the South Coast of England, delivering exceptional performances and fostering a vibrant musical community. It was founded in 2016 on the belief that there was a desire in the area for an exceptionally high-quality amateur orchestra that bridged the gap between an inclusive one and a fully-fledged professional one.
