BSO Concerts

Status:Active, open to new members

When: As required

The BSO Concerts group attends performances by the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra at The Lighthouse in Poole throughout the concert season. Subject to sufficient numbers, including guests, the leader arranges coach transport and tickets to take advantage of generous discounts. Arrangements need to be made well in advance, so it is essential to be a group member and commit early to each concert.

The BSO Coach trips have proved very popular and successful this year.  The 30% group booking ticket discount has made the trips very competitive.

The 2026-27 concert season offers a very varied program, a group of us have gone through the concerts and placed provisional bookings for the concerts listed below.
For more information visit the BSO Web Site.
If you are interested in finding more information about all or some of these trips please contact the BSO Concerts Group Leader via the link above.
