About
the Orchestra The RTWSO was founded in 1922 when a group of 21 amateur string players, supported by a flautist and a pianist, gave a concert in King Charles Hall, Royal Tunbridge Wells. The orchestra is now a full symphony orchestra that has established a regular pattern of six concerts each season. Today, the RTWSO is made up from a core group of gifted, local musicians, whose ranks are augmented by a larger number of professional musicians. They perform to a high standard and offer continuity for our audiences, as many of the players have been performing with the RTWSO for some years. Time and time again, the RTWSO turns in memorable performances completely worthy of other leading orchestras. We promote a fascinating series of concerts to enjoy, exploring familiar and some less familiar orchestral works in a dazzling mix of programmes. |
