The Sheffield Philharmonic Orchestra Welcomes You |

Sheffield Philharmonic Orchestra is the longest-running orchestra in Sheffield. A collective of talented and enthusiastic amateur musicians, we stage symphonic concerts of the highest quality. Fresh from the success of the second "Classics in the Gardens" Concert in aid of Rotary Club Charities, we are preparing with Musical Director Ewa Strusinska (Assistant Conductor of the Halle Orchestra) for a thrilling 64th concert season. This is an exciting time for the orchestra, so please do join us for the ride, as audience member, or maybe even as a player! |

The History of the Sheffield Philharmonic Orchestra |
|
 The Sheffield Philharmonic Orchestra (SPO) gave its first public performance on Sunday the 22nd of April 1945 in Sheffield City Hall, conducted by Hermann Lindars, founder of the orchestra. The audience included the Lord and Lady Mayoress of Sheffield and the Master and Mistress Cutler, Lord and Lady Riverdale.
At the time the orchestra was known as the Sheffield Amateur Symphony Orchestra. A year or so later it was incorporated into the Philharmonic Concerts Department of the Sheffield Corporation, taking on the name by which it is known today.
