WPO's 2023/24 season

The WPO is once again starting a new season featuring some of the greatest works of the 19th and 20th century repertoire for large orchestra.

In October we will perform Rachmaninoff's Symphony No. 1 - the chaotic first performance of which sent the composer into a depressive spiral until allegedly restored by the hypnotherapist Dr Dahl.

In December we will perform the Third Symphony of Elgar in the completion by Anthony Payne.

In March we will have one of  Richard Strauss's greatest tone poen, Ein Heldenleben and in May, Walton's epic first Symphony.

See the full list of WPO concert dates.
