The Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra (BSO), with its rich history bridging over a century of music-making, is a beacon of classical excellence in the South West of England. Founded in 1893, the ensemble has cultivated an illustrious reputation, not only for traditional concert experiences but also for engaging and innovative approaches to bringing classical music to a wider audience. In its journey through time, the BSO has worked under the batons of eminent conductors and with world-renowned soloists, contributing significantly to the UK's cultural tapestry.

The Orchestra’s versatility is mirrored in its expansive discography which reveals an admirable breadth of repertoire. Recent releases have seen the BSO traverse a wide spectrum of works from Grieg's evocative Peer Gynt Suites to the intense emotional landscapes of Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 8 and Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No. 3. Moreover, they have showcased rare gems of the classical world, such as Lyatoshynsky’s Symphony No. 3 and Karayev's Seven Beauties Suite, underscoring their commitment to both canonical and lesser-known compositions. Whether it's capturing the romanticism of Vaughan Williams or the contemporary visions of Paul Carr, the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra continues to affirm its status as a cultural pillar, enchanting audiences with its dynamic performances and enriching the classical music canon with every note played.
