Welcome to Henley Symphony Orchestra 54th Season

Henley Symphony Orchestra celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2020. From the first concert held in 1970 in a borrowed marquee in Shiplake, HSO has gone from strength to strength and now attracts some fifty players from across the Thames Valley.

The orchestra promotes an annual series of four concerts featuring internationally acclaimed artists. The aim is to provide high-quality music-making at affordable prices and to give local musicians a chance to perform the great classical orchestral repertoire. HSO has also given performances in Henley’s twin towns of Falaise and Leichlingen and at Bled International Music Festival in Slovenia. HSO performs an increasingly demanding classical repertoire and has been able to attract world class soloists, including John Lill, Tasmin Little, Stephen Isserlis, Evelyn Glennie, Stephen Hough, Sheku Kanneh-Mason, Min Kym, Martin Roscoe and Peter Donohoe.
