Tayside Symphony Orchestra

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.
