Exeter Symphony Orchestra

2008-2009 Concert Season

Welcome to the new 2008-2009 season. As I write we are rehearsing our first of these concerts, to be performed on Saturday 8th November at Southernhay United Reformed Church in Exeter. In order to give you, our supportive audience, a feel for the programme content, I have tried to give titles to each event. This coming concert is a colourful and powerful programme of European masterworks from the 19th and 20th centuries.
