Name:  Northampton Symphony Orchestra
Description:  Northampton Symphony Orchestra has its roots in the "St. Cecilia Orchestral Society", which was formed in October 1893.

In 1932 the orchestra gave the first performance under its new name of Northampton Symphony Orchestra.

In 1937 the name Malcolm Arnold appeared in the programme: the well-known Northampton-born composer played in the trumpet section as a young lad. Regular concerts (interrupted only by the Second World War) were given in the New Theatre (long since demolished), the Royal Theatre, the Guildhall and Spinney Hill Hall. Since 1983 the orchestra has given the majority of its concerts in the Derngate Theatre, but has also played in local churches as well as other venues outside Northampton.

Members of the NSO are drawn from all walks of life, including students, professional business men and women, and musical instrument teachers. They give up their time without being paid, and share the common purpose of enjoying music and hoping to communicate that enjoyment with others. The financial policy of the Orchestra, in keeping with its status as a registered charity, is to secure sufficient funds through members' subscription fees, ticket sales and grants to meet the costs of rehearsals and performances, and nothing more.

Northampton Symphony Orchestra's reputation has grown over the last century, and continues to do so. It has been described as one of the foremost community orchestras in the country.
