the dulwich symphony orchestra is an amateur orchestra with a professional conductor and leader. The players come from a wide variety of backgrounds and enjoy the satisfaction of working together to achieve a high standard. We perform orchestral repertoire that is both musically satisfying and technically challenging. We have regular rehearsals in which members can develop their orchestral skills while studying the finer details of the works performed.
