Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra live in Poole

Experience Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra live on February 17th

Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra (BSO) will perform at Lighthouse, Poole on February 17, 2027. The BSO is a leading UK orchestra with a repertoire spanning over 130 years, known for its versatility across classical music – from core orchestral works by composers like Beethoven and Brahms to contemporary pieces and film scores. The orchestra frequently commissions new works and actively engages in educational outreach programs. Historically, the BSO has strong associations with British composers such as Elgar and Vaughan Williams, often featuring their works prominently in performances.

Lighthouse, Poole, opened in 1978 and is a multi-arts centre housing a theatre, cinema and visual arts gallery. The building underwent significant refurbishment and expansion completed in 2023, enhancing its accessibility and facilities. Originally conceived as the Arts Centre for the Borough of Poole, it quickly became a regional hub for performing arts. Its concert hall provides a venue for orchestral performances due to its acoustic properties and capacity. The venue regularly hosts touring productions alongside locally produced work, serving a diverse audience across Dorset and beyond. It is managed by BCP Council.
