We are still here and we keep playing

We have missed playing in our concert and it looks like we might not be able to play to you all in the autumn too.

But we have been getting together as best we can. And rest assured we will be back as soon as we can.

About

The Havering Concert Orchestra is a community orchestra serving the London Borough of Havering and surrounding areas. We exist to provide opportunities for local instrumentalists to practise and develop their musical skills, and to provide entertainment for members of the public.

We have adult members of all ages, and endeavour to make our rehearsals and concerts approachable and friendly occasions. The orchestra works with local soloists wherever possible, and has a particular commitment to offering local young musicians solo performance opportunities. We have worked with several past winners of the Havering Young Musician of the Year award.

The Havering Concert Orchestra is a member of, and is supported by, the Havering Arts Council. We are also affiliated to Making Music.

Martyn Bowden – much respected.

Havering Concert Orchestra were very sad to hear about the death of Martyn Bowden . Martyn supported us over many years playing trombone. In our 2019 Autumn Concert we dedicated Arvo Pärt’s – ‘Cantus in Memoriam Benjamin Britten’ to him. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.
