About the orchestra

 

The Halifax Symphony Orchestra is one of the UK’s oldest non-professional orchestras. Established in 1882, the Orchestra is looking forward to 2024/25 with confidence and optimism.

Members from all walks of life, within Calderdale and other West Yorkshire areas including Huddersfield, Bradford, Wakefield and Leeds share a passion for playing music together. The players are variously teachers, semi-professionals and retired professionals along with a positive group of dedicated amateurs.

Halifax Orchestral Society is a registered charity 1069486 in England and Wales.
