‘The Watford Philharmonic Society was established by Sir Henry Wood (of BBC Proms fame) in 1935. Today we are one of the largest amateur societies in the UK combining choir and orchestra ... We perform 4 or 5 full-scale concerts each year, mainly at the Watford Colosseum. We also participate in a number of local events, often raising money for charities ... Our repertoire encompasses major choral and orchestral works both classical and modern.’
