Shaftesbury Symphony Orchestra was established some 30 years ago. We are a 40+ strong group of amateur musicians who rehearse in term times on Monday evenings.
We end each term with a concert in St James' Church, Shaftesbury.
We aim to steadily improve our standard, while at the same time enjoying ourselves!
We welcome enquiries from potential new players - please see Join Us .
We also invite everybody to come to our concerts - see our exciting future plans here. You can also Subscribe to our Concert Email list.
Our conductor is Sarah Freestone, a musician with a huge range of experience who describes herself as a Composer, Presenter, Animateur and Musician; she plays a wide range of instruments . Read about her on her website.
