Our 2025-2026 Season is one of our most ambitious yet. For the first time in some years the orchestra will perform outside of Dorchester in addition to the 4 concerts in our regular venue of St. Mary’s Church, Dorchester. This extra concert will take place in the Gransden Hall, (Merritt Centre), Sherborne Girls School, Sherborne. Please note the change of venue.
