Symphony orchestra of Bournemouth

The Symphony orchestra of Bournemouth (in English Bournemouth Symphony Orchestrated ) is a symphonic Orchestre Britannique based with Poole, close to Bournemouth.

History

Called in the beginning Bournemouth Municipal Orchestrated (until 1954), the orchestra is founded in 1893 with wind instruments before becoming a complete symphony orchestra. Dedicated to the modern music, the orchestra was directed by the type-setters Edward Elgar and Gustav Holst (inter alia) which thus defended their own works.
