An exciting season shaping up

This season is going to be another exciting one including a mix of familiar works, well-known ones rarely tackled by local orchestras and a rarity.

In November we paid tribute to the letter S with Schumann's Manfred overture and two symphonies, Schumann's Rhenish and Sibelius' seventh conducted by Music Director Christopher Stark. We will join Finchley Chamber Choir on 10th December for a Christmas concert of carols and popular favourites.

In March we will perform Beethoven's fourth symphony and his violin concerto with soloist Konrad Eliastrostmann, as well as the Suite en Forme de Valses by Mel Bonis. It will be a British programme in May with Britten's Serenade for tenor, horn and strings, Hamish MacCunn's Land of the Mountain and the Flood and Vaughan William's fifth symphony. To round off the season we will be back with the Chamber Choir for a major concert, for which details will be finalised very soon.

Come and play with us

We have room for new string players, particularly viola and double bass, and in some other sections. There is no membership fee in your first term so if you would like to try us out do get in touch. See the 'Members' page for more details.

We are...

Finchley Symphony Orchestra – a successful and friendly amateur orchestra in north London, rehearsing weekly and giving five high standard concerts each year. We enjoy playing great music together, working hard while having fun, and celebrating it afterwards We are constantly looking for new challenges and opportunities..

Richard Garry, 2018

The FSO consistently produces music of a very high standard and together with highly talented soloists provide wonderful evenings full of happiness and light.

Jill and Peter Holland, 2018

Over several years we have been to many concerts given by The Finchley Symphony Orchestra (and occasionally with the Finchley Chamber Choir). Our policy is that - if we are free, Trinity Church, Finchley, is the best place to be - sometimes challenging, but always offering an evening of fine music, beautifully played.

Julian Ansell, 2018

[Finchley Symphony Orchestra is] a top drawer symphony orchestra with first class soloists without having to go to the Festival or Albert Halls.
