40 YEARS AND COUNTING
It was the 40th anniversary of our first concert at the Town hall as Stockport Symphony Orchestra in October 2017
SIYMC 2019
Our last international competition for young musicians attracted interest from all over the world. It was back in 2019 even better! And our thanks go to U.S. choral group The Alexandria Harmonizers who appeared at the Town hall on 8 August and donated their box office share to the competition!
TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER
The SSO is delighted that Helen Brackley Jones continues as the orchestra’s leader for another season

STOCKPORT’S ORCHESTRA
40 years ago the orchestra accepted the offer by Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council of a permanent home in the Edwardian splendour of the Town Hall and we are now proud to celebrate more than 40 seasons as the Borough's official orchestra. The orchestra performs eight concerts each season at the Town Hall and also appears elsewhere during the year.

NEXT CONCERT
BOX OFFICE
The fantasy for cello, ‘Schelomo’, is played tonight by RLPO principal cellist, Jonathan Aasgaard whose many recordings include one of the most highly rated performances of the piece. It’s followed by a symphony which for many remains associated with the haunting score to Visconti’s film 'Death in Venice'.
