Rotherham Symphony Orchestra

Who are Rotherham Symphony Orchestra?

Rotherham Symphony Orchestra are a group of amateur musicians who are excited and passionate about bringing classical music to our local community.

RSO is the only orchestra of its kind in the Rotherham area and is still relatively new as an ensemble that was founded in 2017.

We strive to perform our music to the best of our abilities for the entertainment of all who are interested to listen.

Since the pandemic...

RSO was only 3 years old as we entered the pandemic of 2020, meaning that most of our goals and plans hadn't even had chance to thrive. 

Since beginning rehearsals once more in September 2021 our orchestra has built from strength to strength with an influx of new members, a new organising committee and we now have bigger goals than ever.

We are particularly interested in working within the local community through partnered concerts with other musical organisations, promoting music to the younger generation and we even want to look at partnering with professional organisations such as the BBC orchestras as we did when we very first started.
