Henley Symphony Orchestra is celebrating its 52nd season with renewed enthusiasm after the calamitous effects of the COVID-19 virus caused almost a year of no music-making. Having performed a concert in July 2021, the orchestra hopes to get back to its normal operations and bring you the live, classical music we have all missed. Under the guidance of Ian Brown, HSO attracts some 50 players from across the Thames Valley and 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, at Bled International Music Festival in Slovenia, and has annual appearances in its hometown at Henley Festival.
