​
We are delighted to announce that Alex will play this concerto with us at our next concert
Alex is a student at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire and we are looking forwards to working with him on this music during this term
We are celebrating this year
​
The Wyre Forest Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1974 by a small group of players by a local conductor called Ken Cox.
Ken took the fledgling orchestra on its first steps but moved away from the area after 3 years in charge
Chris Eldrige then conducted the orchestra for the next 20 years helping to establish it close to what you see today
We are still thriving in our 50th year with over 55 amateur musicians involved and giving three large symphony concerts each year
