The CITY OF SOUTHAMPTON ORCHESTRA
The orchestra
has its origin in a single concert given in Beaulieu
Abbey Church in 1971 by a small ad hoc group of players to accompany
the New Forest Singers, the ‘baby’ of Ward Gardner, Medical Officer of
Fawley refinery. He was particularly interested in, and a fine interpreter
of renaissance and classical music. This group quickly became established
as a permanent chamber orchestra, calling itself the SOLENT SINFONIA
with Ward as its permanent conductor, giving concerts in the Art Gallery,
Southampton. Its rapid success attracted more players making possible
entry into the standard repertoire, but the orchestra was no longer a
chamber group. The guiding light in this venture was (the late) Alex Young,
a Fareham businessman and bass trombonist, and it is to his memory that
the orchestra plays with the backing sheets at its concerts.
In 1978, by courtesy of the City Council, the orchestra adopted its
present title with the aim of promoting concerts of a high standard while
maintaining a friendly approach to encourage regular attendance by both
players and listeners.
Soon after this the Committee took a decision that they would not hire big
name soloists, but rather that a professional conductor should be employed,
to take rehearsals as far as possible as well as concerts.
The CSO logo
was designed by competition amongst the players,
won by Jane Denley (née Lloyd).
The Principal Conductors
since that time have been:
Jonathan Del Mar 1979 to 1990
Jonathan Butcher 1991 to 2001
John Traill 2003 to date
There have, of course, been numerous Guest Conductors.
The orchestra has had only two permanent Leaders in this time:
Joan Schmeising 1971 to 1986
and
Zena Howell 1986 to 2004
For many years the orchestra has had a fruitful relationship with
The Countess of Munster Music Trust enabling the orchestra once
annually to engage first rate young soloists at minimal cost – while providing
experience for them! Several of these were BBC Young Musician of the Year
winners and others also have subsequently had successful solo careers.
