Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra live in Poole

Experience Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra live on November 4th

Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra (BSO) will perform at Lighthouse, Poole on November 4th, 2026. The BSO is a professional orchestra with a broad repertoire spanning over a century, known for its interpretations of both classical standards and contemporary works. While historically rooted in the Romantic orchestral tradition – frequently performing composers like Dvořák and Brahms – the orchestra actively commissions new pieces and explores diverse musical styles including film scores and cross-genre collaborations.

Lighthouse, Poole is a multi-arts centre opened in 1990, built on the site of the former Poole Arts Centre. Its design, by architect Sir Norman Foster, incorporates a distinctive sail-like roof structure and aims to be accessible and inclusive. The venue hosts a variety of performances including theatre, dance, music, and film screenings alongside visual art exhibitions. The main concert hall where the BSO will perform has a capacity of approximately 970 seats and is designed with acoustics suitable for orchestral performances. Lighthouse serves as a significant cultural hub for the local community and attracts national touring companies and artists. It underwent a substantial refurbishment completed in 2023 to enhance facilities and accessibility.
