Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra live in Poole

Experience Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra live on April 14th

Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra (BSO) will perform at Lighthouse, Poole on April 14, 2027. The BSO is recognised for its broad repertoire, encompassing standard orchestral works from the Baroque period through to contemporary compositions. Historically, the orchestra has a strong association with English music, frequently performing works by composers like Elgar and Vaughan Williams, while also embracing a diverse range of international composers and styles. The orchestra maintains a commitment to both traditional performances and innovative projects, including community engagement and educational initiatives.

Lighthouse, Poole, opened in 1990 as a multi-arts centre, replacing the former Poole Arts Centre. The building itself is a significant example of postmodern architecture designed by Lawrence Bommer. It functions as a theatre, concert hall and cinema complex, hosting a variety of performances and events throughout the year. Beyond its artistic programming, Lighthouse serves as a regional hub for creative industries and offers facilities for local groups and artists. The venue’s concert hall is specifically designed to accommodate orchestral performances with consideration given to acoustics and sightlines. It regularly hosts national touring companies alongside local productions and musical ensembles.
