Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra live in Poole

Experience Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra live on November 18th

Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra (BSO) will perform at Lighthouse, Poole on November 18, 2026. The BSO is a leading UK orchestra with a broad repertoire encompassing standard orchestral works from the Baroque period through to contemporary compositions. Historically, the orchestra has been known for its strong Romantic and early 20th-century interpretations, and frequently commissions new works, demonstrating a commitment to contemporary classical music. It maintains a regular broadcast presence and an extensive education and community outreach program.

Lighthouse, Poole is a multi-arts centre opened in 1990, built on the site of the former Poole Arts Centre. The building itself incorporates the shell of the Victorian Bath House, retaining some of its original architectural features alongside modern design. It functions as a theatre, cinema and concert hall hosting a diverse range of performances including drama, dance, film screenings and musical events. The venue provides a significant cultural hub for Poole and the surrounding Dorset area; it underwent a major refurbishment completed in 2023 enhancing its facilities and accessibility. The concert hall within Lighthouse is regularly used by visiting orchestras and ensembles due to its acoustic properties and central location within the region.
