Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra (BSO) will perform at Lighthouse, Poole on October 28, 2026. The BSO is a leading UK orchestra with a broad repertoire encompassing standard classical works, contemporary compositions, and film scores. Historically rooted in the English Romantic tradition, the orchestra is known for its expressive string playing and commitment to commissioning new works. It regularly collaborates with prominent soloists and composers.

Lighthouse, Poole, opened in 1990 as a multi-arts centre. The building itself replaced the former Poole Arts Centre and incorporates the Victorian-era building of the former gasworks. Designed by Sir Norman Foster’s architectural practice, Foster + Partners, it features a distinctive steel and glass construction. Lighthouse functions as a theatre, concert hall and cinema, hosting a diverse range of performances and events throughout the year. Its main performance space offers a flexible configuration suitable for orchestral concerts. The venue plays a significant role in the cultural landscape of Poole and the surrounding Dorset area, serving as a regional hub for arts provision. It underwent a major refurbishment completed in 2023 enhancing accessibility and facilities.
