The Halesowen Orchestra has been described as one of the town’s hidden jewels - and it’s a description with which the ensemble’s many supporters would no doubt wholeheartedly agree. 

This year celebrating their 40th birthday, the amateur group of musicians meet once a week to practise a wide and varied repertoire of works by some of the world’s greatest classical composers.

This month’s concert - taking the title Northern Light - features City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra principal bassoonist Nikolaj Henriques playing Carl Weber's bassoon concerto. 

The programme also includes Felix Mendelssohn’s Fair Melusine Overture and Asger Hamerik’s Sixth Symphony.
