A very warm welcome to you from Southport Orchestra
We take our fun seriously!
During 2019 we celebrate the 10th anniversary of
Jeff Rimmer taking over the musical directorship of
the Southport Orchestra. Under Jeff’s baton and
with his undisguised enthusiasm, his superlative
musicianship and love of the Southport Orchestra,
we have expanded our repertoire and have gained in
reputation and played to increasingly large audiences.
This year is no exception. SO presents music from
across the ages from Mozart to Beethoven to Dvořák
and from Sibelius to 20th century popular classics.
Within this repertoire you will find much-loved
favourites and some that are lesser known, but
equally fantastic music.
Our March concert with soloist Tom Kimmance was very well received and we have included a video clip from the performance below.
We are delighted in our next two concerts
to greet two very talented musicians who will be
performing with the orchestra for the first time;
soprano Louise Dickinson at our Proms on the Prom
concert and Ben Cartlidge who will perform Sibelius’s
Violin Concerto in November. And back by popular
demand the choir of Woodlands School, Formby will
again perform at our July concert.
Thank you to all our very enthusiastic supporters –
your attendance at our concerts makes it all
worthwhile. And also a big thank you to - Jeff Rimmer.

Thanks for a great Southport Orchestra concert last night.
At the end I just had to stand up and applaud.
The Southport Orchestra’s excellent interpretation of the 3 B’s really was the bees knees, under the direction of Jeff Rimmer plus the talents of Tom Kimmance. A thoroughly enjoyable evening.
Southport Orchestra were just brilliant under the superbly talented conductor Jeff Rimmer.
What a fantastic performance by solo pianist Tom Kimmance.
