Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra live in Exeter

Experience Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra live on December 3rd

Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra (BSO) will perform at the University Great Hall, Exeter on December 3rd, 2026. The BSO is a professional orchestra with a broad repertoire spanning over 125 years, known for its interpretations of both classical standards and contemporary works. While rooted in the Romantic tradition, the orchestra frequently commissions new pieces and collaborates with diverse artists across genres, demonstrating a commitment to musical innovation alongside established masterpieces. They maintain a strong regional presence across the South of England and beyond.

The University of Exeter’s Great Hall is a significant venue within the Streatham Campus. Originally opened in 1955 as part of the post-war expansion of the university, it was designed by architects H.S. Goodhart-Rendel and Partners and represents an example of mid-century modern architecture. The hall serves multiple functions including examinations, graduations, conferences, and performing arts events. Its acoustic properties have been noted as suitable for orchestral performances due to its volume and design features intended to enhance sound projection. The hall underwent a substantial refurbishment completed in 2019 which improved accessibility and technical capabilities while retaining its original character.
