Sheffield Philharmonic Orchestra

Established in 1945, the Sheffield Philharmonic Orchestra has been making music in the Steel City for over 75 years!

Based in the cultural heart of the City of Sheffield, the SPO prides itself on its rich musical history, as well as its core ethos of providing a medium for local musicians to flourish. The Orchestra has a busy concert schedule and gives no fewer than five concerts a year across Sheffield and beyond. Over the years the SPO has performed in many notable venues, such as: Sheffield City Hall, Buxton Pavilion Gardens and Birmingham Symphony Hall, where they recorded a live CD with revered acoustic and electric guitarist, Gordon Giltrap, MBE. The Orchestra has also performed at music festivals on the islands of Crete, Malta and Sardinia, and accompanied a number of internationally-acclaimed soloists, such as: Benjamin Frith and Rohan da Saram and Fenella Humphreys.

Further to this, the SPO is committed to supporting local talent across the region; many of its younger members have gone on to study at leading UK Conservatoires, and it regularly commission and perform new works by local composers and arrangers.
