About the 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.
The orchestra is conducted by Jonathan Butcher and is a registered charity (No. 1053703).
“The Westminster Philharmonic is notably adventurous in its programming and large-scale music is widely featured.”
“Playing approached and often achieved that of professional standard.”
