Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra (BSO) is a renowned UK orchestra with a history stretching back to 1893. The orchestra’s repertoire is broad, encompassing standard classical works from the Baroque period through to contemporary compositions, with a particular noted strength in British music and a commitment to commissioning new pieces. They are known for their vibrant performances and extensive community engagement programmes.

Lighthouse, Poole, opened in 1990 and serves as a multi-arts centre for the local community and beyond. Originally conceived as a replacement for the town’s aging arts facilities, the building incorporates a theatre, concert hall, cinema and gallery spaces. Its design, by architects Rick Mather and Associates, prioritised accessibility and flexibility to accommodate diverse artistic presentations. The concert hall within Lighthouse is specifically designed to enhance acoustic performance, making it a favoured venue for orchestral performances.

On October 7th, 2026, Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra will perform at Lighthouse, Poole. Specific programme details for this concert are currently unavailable. The BSO frequently features at Lighthouse as part of its regional performance schedule, utilising the venue’s established reputation for sound quality and central location within Dorset.
