+ City of Cambridge Symphony Orchestra

‘Started life in 1973 as the Harston String Orchestra. Later, as a result of a change in venue, it became the Barton String Orchestra. In 2000 ... the orchestra changed its name to the Cambridge String Players ... In addition to playing works for strings, the orchestra increasingly invited wind players to join it to perform works from the symphonic repertoire. Recognising this change of emphasis, the musicians decided that the orchestra needed a new name and in September 2008, it became the City of Cambridge Symphony Orchestra ... The Orchestra performs six concerts a year in Cambridge’s leading concert hall, the West Road University Concert Hall.’
