Solihull Symphony Orchestra

Solihull Symphony Orchestra is a lively and enthusiastic group of non-professional musicians who enjoy taking on the challenge of a diverse and varied repertoire. Our members span an age range from under 18 to over 80.

The orchestra began life as an evening class in Solihull, becoming Knowle Sinfonia in 1990 with the late Malcolm Peters as its conductor. In January 2005, the orchestra changed its name to the Solihull Symphony Orchestra, and since 2014 the Mayor of Solihull has been our Honorary Patron.

Martin Leigh became the orchestra’s first professional Music Director in 2001. Between 2013 and 2023 Jon Malaxetxebarria was Music Director and Principal Conductor.
