Bringing some of the very best music to Banbury!

Banbury Symphony Orchestra brings together local musicians and audiences to experience the music and the unique thrill of involvement with a full symphony orchestra.

Orchestra members range from professional players and music teachers to enthusiastic and committed local players.

Regular members of our audience know that they will experience something special at each one of our concerts. Newcomers to our concerts are consistently impressed with the quality of our performances. We bring the best of the symphony orchestra repertoire to the heart of Banburyshire!

Our orchestra logo includes the phrase "experience the music”. This is our passion. There’s all the difference in the world between just listening to recordings and broadcast music, and experiencing the music first hand with a full symphony orchestra.

Join us in our audience or as an orchestra member and experience the music!

On Saturday evening a sizeable audience was privileged to hear an outstanding performance from the Banbury Symphony Orchestra in St Mary’s Church.

In playing an all-Russian programme devoted to the music of Rimsky-Korsakov and Prokoviev, they displayed enormous depth of talent, with excellent solos from several members of the band.
