BRAVO to the 35 young musicians that attended our Brass Workshop on Friday morning, led by Ben Thomson and representatives of the Orchestra’s Brass section! It was such a fantastic morning, what the students achieved in such a short amount of time blew us away! Well done to all involved and a big thank you to our fabulous local and visiting musicians for supporting and inspiring those that attended.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Christmas Concert 19th December, 2021.
It is with immense regret that the Jersey Symphony Orchestra has decided to postpone its 2021 Christmas Concert until Christmas 2022.
Over the past two days the Omicron variant raging in the UK has caused ten of the thirty visiting players to have to withdraw from joining us on December 19th with the others feeling very concerned about the whole situation. Given the rapid spread of the variant we expect the problem to get worse rather than better and thinking of our own local population’s safety we must reluctantly postpone the very exciting ‘Christmas with a Latin American Twist’ programme devised by guest conductor Natalia Luis-Bassa until 18th December 2022.
Ticket purchasers will be contacted and re-imbursed as quickly as possible. Postponing the concert just days before it was due to take place is a devastating blow for us. We thank everyone for all their efforts in preparing for the concert and in particular the hosts of the visiting musicians who were prepared to open their homes to the visiting players in what are exceptional times.
Nick Cabot, MBE.
President, Jersey Symphony Orchestra.
