Aylesbury Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1949 by Charles Pope, a former teacher at Aylesbury Grammar School, who was a major figure in local music, also setting up Aylesbury Choral Society, the Charles Pope Ladies’ Choir and the former Charles Pope String Orchestra.

We have over 60 players, rehearsing every week at the Aylesbury Music Centre, who come together to perform, improve their musical ability, and spend time with like-minded musicians. If you are interested in joining have a look at our Join Us page new players are always welcome.
