Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra live in Poole

Experience Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra live on November 25th

Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra (BSO) will perform at Lighthouse, Poole on November 25, 2026. The BSO is recognised for its broad repertoire, encompassing core classical works from composers such as Beethoven, Brahms and Tchaikovsky alongside 20th and 21st-century compositions and a commitment to commissioning new pieces. Historically, the orchestra has a strong association with English music, particularly that of Elgar and Vaughan Williams, and is known for its vibrant and accessible performances.

Lighthouse is a multi-arts centre located in Poole, Dorset. Opened in 1990, it houses a theatre, concert hall, cinema and art gallery spaces. The building was designed by Sir Norman Foster and initially conceived as the Poole Arts Centre; it underwent a significant refurbishment and rebranding as Lighthouse in 2003. It serves as a key cultural venue for the local community and regularly hosts national touring companies alongside locally produced work. The concert hall within Lighthouse provides a well-regarded acoustic environment suitable for orchestral performances. The venue’s design incorporates distinctive architectural features reflecting its coastal location.
