The Glasgow Orchestral Society, founded in 1870, is an amateur symphony orchestra with about 70 members. We play a wide range of music, from the classical era to the present day, and have also commissioned works from eminent Scottish composers such as John Purser and John Geddes. Programmes frequently include a concerto and we sometimes join forces with choirs.
Concerts
We give four concerts a year, usually in Glasgow but sometimes in Paisley. The season runs from August to May, with rehearsals on Monday evenings from 7.30pm to 9.30pm, in the Community Central Hall, 304 Maryhill Road. Our first and third concerts next season will be in the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, the second in Paisley Abbey and the last one in Paisley Town Hall. The conductors will be Marco Romano, Steve Birch and Eric Dunlea.
New players
Vacancies exist in some sections, particularly in the strings. If you'ld like to experience the exhilaration of performing some of the greatest orchestral music with like minded friends, why not join us?
The Glasgow Orchestral Society is Registered Scottish Charity no. SC007359 and a member of Making Music (The National Federation of Music Societies)
