The City of Rochester Symphony Orchestra (CRSO) was formed in 1969 and is one of the main amateur orchestras in North Kent, England. The orchestra’s Music Director is the distinguished pianist and trumpet teacher, Richard Hull. The CRSO has 60 playing members, both amateur and professional musicians, who perform concerts at The Central Theatre, Chatham, and other venues in Kent. In February 2025, Richard was asked to conduct a City of Rochester Symphony Orchestra concert at short notice following the sudden death of their esteemed conductor of many years, Peter Bassano.

We would like to invite you to join us for an enchanting evening of Viennese music with the City of Rochester Symphony Orchestra at Rochester Cathedral. Doors open at 6:45 PM, with the concert beginning promptly at 7:30 PM.
