Welcome to our 2026–27 Season!
ESO is dedicated to bringing the finest music and professional performers to the rural counties we serve.
Across our 2026–27 Cheltenham Residency concerts, we are proud to celebrate the symphony, with landmark works from some of the greatest masters of the genre — Sibelius, Shostakovich, Tchaikovsky and Bruckner. Alongside this exploration of these monuments of music, we’re joined by some of the most exciting soloists working today, bringing their unique virtuosity and poetry to works by Dvořák, Rachmaninoff, Korngold and Strauss.
Introducing the ESO Insight Series — join us a little earlier at 6.45pm for relaxed pre-concert conversations that bring you closer to the music. Hear the stories, ideas and creative voices behind each programme, and enjoy a relaxed start to your ESO evening.
Over in Malvern, we have two further wonderful concerts: celebrating great American music at Thanksgiving, and the effervescence of Mendelssohn and Strauss in the spring. We’ll be performing a choral extravaganza in Hereford and returning to the Elgar Festival in late May.
Care Home and dementia-friendly concerts continue to be a hugely important part of our community and outreach work, alongside our growing number of highly acclaimed ESO Youth courses.
However you like to experience music, we’d love to see you this season.
