Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra live in Exeter

Experience Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra live on January 21st

Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra (BSO) will perform at the University Great Hall, Exeter on January 21, 2027. The BSO is recognised as one of the United Kingdom’s leading symphony orchestras, with a repertoire spanning over 130 years. Historically rooted in the English Romantic tradition, the orchestra frequently performs works by British composers alongside core classical and romantic pieces, but also embraces 20th and 21st-century compositions and cross-genre collaborations. They are known for a warm, rich sound and dynamic performances.

The University of Exeter’s Great Hall is a significant venue within the Streatham Campus. Opened in 1955 as part of the university’s post-war expansion, it was designed by Sir Leslie Martin and Peter Moro, architects also involved in the Royal Festival Hall in London. The hall's architectural style reflects mid-century modernism, characterised by clean lines and functional design. It serves as a multi-purpose space hosting academic ceremonies, conferences, and performing arts events. The Great Hall possesses notable acoustic properties suited to orchestral performances due to its specific dimensions and materials used in construction; however detailed acoustic specifications are not publicly available.
