Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra

Did you spot us in the Bournemouth Daily Echo over the weekend? We were thrilled that so many MPs and Peers joined Jessica Toale, MP for Bournemouth West, in the Houses of Parliament for our LIVE broadcast from Lighthouse - Arts and Entertainment | Poole with Kirill Karabits and Ksenija Sidorova: https://lnkd.in/e5JuyhaA

We’re thrilled that so many MPs and Peers joined Jessica Toale, MP for Bournemouth West, in the Houses of Parliament on Wednesday night - united in the live experience with our audience at Lighthouse - Arts and Entertainment | Poole, and with people in their living rooms throughout the UK and beyond – for our concert with Kirill Karabits (Кирило Карабиць) and Ksenija Sidorova.   As Digital Concert presenter Tom Service, put it: “An orchestra is a community of possibility, and of connection.”  We’re proud to unite communities in the live experience.. and are grateful so many thousands of people in the South West (including our friends at Pier Journal) value the awe-inspiring magic of symphonic music. https://lnkd.in/eCJV6KbR

The BSO Participate team is back on the road, travelling to weekly groups across the South West 🎶We started with the Recovery Orchestra (w/BDP - Bristol Drugs Project) and continue onward to Wellbeing Orchestras in Wincanton, Chard and Bodmin as the week continues, before workshops at Dorset County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and Maggie's Centres ✨ The life-empowering impact of live music-making never ceases to amaze us… https://buff.ly/uFM66WN

“When we’re no longer able to be physically present in the audience, it’s lovely to think there will be a small part of us still contributing via the gift we’ve made in our Will.” Like Julie, you can be part of the BSO’s future and ensure future generations experience the joy of music through a gift in your Will. https://lnkd.in/gD6mmwFn #YourOrchestraYourLegacy #FreeWillsMonth #Music
