The Tayside Symphony Orchestra was formed in
1992 by its present conductor, Ron Walker, and gave its first
concert in May 1993. The original intention was a one-off
concert to raise funds for the Chest Heart and Stroke Association
Scotland, and a total of £4,500 was donated to the charity after the
concert
Enthusiasm from the players and considerable
public encouragement persuaded Ron to decide that the orchestra
should continue to exist. Now we give three concerts a year,
in February, June and September. Recent venues are the Reid
Hall in Forfar, the Town Hall in Montrose, and the Caird Hall in
Dundee.
The orchestra is delighted and honoured to have
Mary, Dowager Countess of Strathmore as its Honorary President.
