Experience the Music

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.

What's different?

  • The range and depth of the acoustics from the symphony orchestra that are simply unavailable through loudspeakers and headphones
  • The emotional connection between everybody involved; orchestra members, conductor and audience as a composer's music is recreated right here, right now
  • The shared experience of being part of an audience

Come and experience the music with the Banbury Symphony Orchestra.

Banbury Symphony Orchestra is a Registered Charity (No. 239112)
