Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra live in Exeter

Experience Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra live on October 22nd

Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra (BSO) is a British orchestra with a distinguished history spanning over 125 years. Known for its versatility, the BSO performs a broad repertoire encompassing classical standards, contemporary compositions, and film scores. The orchestra has a strong commitment to education and community engagement alongside its core concert season. It frequently collaborates with prominent soloists and conductors internationally.

The performance on October 22nd, 2026 will take place at the University of Exeter’s Great Hall. Originally opened in 1955 as part of the post-war expansion of the university campus, the Great Hall is a significant architectural example of mid-century modernism designed by architects Sir Robert Matthew, Johnson & Marshall. The building is recognised for its functional design and use of materials reflective of the period.

The Hall’s acoustics have been continually refined over the years to accommodate a variety of events, including orchestral performances, conferences, and graduation ceremonies. Its large capacity and central location within the Streatham Campus make it a key venue for both university activities and external presentations. The space retains many original features while undergoing periodic updates to maintain its suitability for modern performances.
