Another Sell-Out Concert at The Castle

Shrewsbury Symphony Orchestra were proud to present another of their popular outdoor fundraising concerts at Shrewsbury Castle in July, in aid of The Harry Johnson Trust. 

The orchestra is gaining a reputation for delivering fabulous outdoor concerts - Last Night of the Proms style - in the beautiful setting of Shrewsbury Castle. Tickets always sell out fast for this picnic concert and, so far, the sun has always shone on us! 

This concert is always weather permitting - subject to cancellation - as we have no rain cover, but the heavens must know we're doing a good thing, as we've got away with it every year so far. The plan is to do another one in 2025 so watch this space.

Shrewsbury Symphony Orchestra's Autumn Concert will be on Wednesday, November 27th, 2024 in The Alington Hall, Shrewsbury School.

The Society operates as a registered charity with the purpose of "educating the public in the art and science of music". A Committee of volunteers organises a minimum of three concerts each year of orchestral works usually including a symphony or other substantive work.

Shrewsbury Symphony Orchestra is supported by our Music Director, John Moore and Orchestra Leader, Alex Postlethwaite. Concerts are held in various locations in or around Shrewsbury; further details are elsewhere on this website.
