Worthing Symphony Orchestra

Worthing Symphony Orchestra (WSO) is made up of professional musicians from London and the south-east of England.

About our events

Under the directorship of John Gibbons, WSO has established itself as one of the leading municipal orchestras in the country. John has  maintained the tradition of persuading well-known soloists to appear, including winners of the BBC Young Musician of the Year. His undoubted talent as a communicator and his ability to combine well-known compositions with those by lesser-known composers has not only attracted plaudits but has brought the orchestra to the attention of a new loyal fan base and audience. 

Book tickets for all eight WSO concerts and savings start from £40 on your booking.
