WPO's new
 2011/12 season

The WPO's 2011-12 season will begin in style on 15th October with a rare performance of the 6th Symphony by Arnold Bax and the Walton viola concerto. 

Our December concert will be a full performance of Englebert Humperdinck's opera "Hansel and Gretel".

The remaining concerts in the season's programme include such major works as Charles Ives' "Three Places in New England" and Saint-Saens' Organ Symphony.

The WPO will also make its regular summer outdoor concert appearance at Langton's Lakeside in Havering in early June 2012.  See the full list of WPO concert dates.
