1973 to 2023 - Our 50th Anniversary

We celbrated our 50th anniversary throughout the 2023-2024 season, with a particular celebration concert having taken place on November 25th 2023. To mark this milestone, we collected some memories here to illustrate the history of the orchestra. First click on Nic's picture below to see some words from him setting the context of many of the following pictures:

We have also received 50th anniversary greetings from a number of our regular soloists and a few reminiscences from orchestra members old and new here.

You'll see a few selected photos from our past decades on this page, which can all be expanded for a better view if you click on them. For a more detailed view of our history, further photos are available using the links below. You can see what we looked like at various points in the past, both locally in Leicestershire and on our regular tours, listed here.

Starting from our first picture in 1982, you can then view 1995 to 1999, followed by a few from 2003 to 2009, then 2010 to 2012, followed by 2013 to 2016, then right up to the present day on 2020 to date.

We also now have some photos to share from our 50th Anniversary concert on this page.
