“ A first-class amateur orchestra. ”
The Westminster Philharmonic Orchestra is one of London’s leading amateur orchestras, playing the biggest and most demanding works of the last 150 years. We invite audiences to experience a musical journey through drama, colour, and imagination.
Founded in 1972, the orchestra has earned recognition across London and beyond, drawing musicians from a wide region. We perform five concerts a season, at venues including St Giles Cripplegate, St John’s Waterloo, and St John’s Smith Square.
