The Havering Concert Orchestra was originally known as the Upminster Philharmonic Orchestra during the 1930s. After the Second World War it became the Hornchurch Orchestra and, following a concert coinciding with the formation of the Greater London Council, the name was finally changed in 1965 to the Havering Concert Orchestra. We are the thriving independent Orchestra serving the London Borough of Havering and its surrounding districts.        

The Orchestra aims to present interesting and varied programmes taking regular audience research into account when programme planning. It's broad repertoire takes in all mainstream composers from the baroque era through to the twentieth century and the orchestra also pursues the policy of performing concerts with emerging young talent, including Havering's Young Musician of the Year.
