What the Press Say
"The Orchestra of St John's gave an outstanding performance in only two works and played with such intensity and drive that any additional music would have overwhelmed their impact."

| About the Orchestra of St John's |
|
 The Orchestra of St John's prides itself in being different from other orchestras - it is not just part of the music scene, but at the heart of the community and part of the life surrounding it.
Founded by John Lubbock, Artistic Director, the Orchestra has taken many exciting paths over the years - from performing spellbinding concerts across the UK, with world famous soloists such as Dame Felicity Lott, John Lill, Yuri Bashmet, Tasmin Little and Stephen Isserlis. One of our passions is providing music to families and their children living with autism. Through our Offstage community projects children and their parents are able to partake in the incredible sensory experience that we can offer.
