WPO's new
 2009/2010 season

The WPO's 2009-10 season began on 24th October 2009, at our usual home of St John's Church, Waterloo, with Beethoven's "Emperor" Concerto, played by Evelina Puzaite, and Rachmaninoff's 1st Symphony. 

The remaining three concerts in the season's programme include a concert of deservedly popular French music; Elgar's Violin Concerto with Melina Mandozzi, and a final concert including the spectacular Pines of Rome by Respighi.

The WPO will also make its regular summer outdoor concert appearance at Langton's Lakeside in Havering on 6th June 2009.  See the full list of WPO concert dates.
