About Warwickshire Symphony Orchestra
The WSO has been performing in Leamington and Warwick since 1940, and as the Leamington Orchestral Society before that. Its players are drawn from all over the county and beyond.
The orchestra performs in many venues including Warwick Hall, All Saints Church and the Royal Spa Centre in Leamington, and Coventry Cathedral.
Over the years, the orchestra has worked with many illustrious soloists such as Peter Donohoe and Nadine Benjamin, and young performers including Gillian Blair, Louise Braithwaite and Callum Smart.
The orchestra appointed Roger Coull as permanent principal conductor in 2014, to succeed Guy Woolfenden; he has enhanced the WSO tradition of achieving the very highest musical standard.
The WSO’s repertoire includes popular classical pieces and concertos, the annual family concert with Associate Conductor Paul Leddington Wright, working with choirs such as the Leamington Bach Choir and the Coventry Cathedral Chorus, and ambitious and major works such as Holst’s The Planets; Elgar, Mahler and Shostakovich symphonies; Stravinsky’s Firebird and Verdi’s Requiem.
Past performances
Over many years the WSO has played a very wide range of works from all the major composers of the last 2 centuries.
