BSO is finishing our 2024 season with a celebration! In a year highlighting the connections in our community, we are rounding it off showcasing the origins of our members.

This 'Origins' program has taken us all around the world to source music, and you can expect to hear music from Spain, Indian, Scotland, Italy and Korea - just to name a few, as well as music by some of your favourite composers Beethoven, Westlake, Vaughan Williams, Bizet and Strauss.

So bring along your country's flag to wave at this exciting Proms style concert to end the year with a bang!
