Description
Forest Philharmonic Orchestra, founded in 1964, is rated as one the country’s leading community orchestras. A performance and training orchestra, each section has a professional leader whose role includes rehearsal and technical advice for the section. Members are drawn from diverse backgrounds including music students, teachers, freelancers and amateurs. The orchestra thereby fulfils its aim of helping train the musicians of tomorrow while providing a forum for the leading amateur players of today.
Under the baton of conductor Frank Shipway, the orchestra developed a formidable reputation based on its five concerts a year at the Assembly Hall in Walthamstow and an annual concert at the Royal Festival Hall.
Although we continue to play regular concerts in Walthamstow, recent seasons have had only four concerts annually for financial reasons and concerts in Central London are only possible in partnership with major choral socities.
