Using our first post on Bluesky to say 'hi' from one of the UK's oldest amateur orchestras 👋. We've been performing in #Ipswich #Suffolk since 1902, and are excited about our next concert on Saturday 30 November 2024. Here are our current musicians, photographed mid-concert at Ipswich Corn Exchange.
A photograph from the auditorium of Ipswich Symphony Orchestra in concert, on stage at Ipswich Corn Exchange, Suffolk. All musicians are seated wearing black concert dress, our conductor is centre stage facing the orchestra, and the auditorium is full.
