Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra live in Poole

Experience Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra live on December 23rd

Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra (BSO) will perform at Lighthouse, Poole on December 23, 2026. The BSO is a leading UK orchestra with a tradition of broad repertoire encompassing classical standards from the Baroque period through to contemporary compositions. While historically known for its strong Romantic and early 20th-century interpretations, the orchestra actively commissions new works and explores diverse musical styles including film scores and cross-genre collaborations. It maintains a commitment to community engagement alongside its core concert season.

Lighthouse, Poole, opened in 1978 and functions as a multi-arts centre. Originally conceived as the Poole Arts Centre, it underwent a significant refurbishment and rebranding as Lighthouse in 2004. The building houses a theatre, concert hall, cinema, and art galleries. Its architectural design incorporates a distinctive tower which has become a local landmark. The venue hosts a wide range of performances including theatre productions, dance, music concerts – notably frequently featuring the BSO – and film screenings. It serves as an important cultural hub for the town of Poole and the wider Dorset region, supporting both professional and amateur artistic endeavours. The concert hall within Lighthouse provides an acoustically designed space suitable for orchestral performances.
