Southport Orchestra

  • Robert Shaw

Northbank has been working with Southport Orchestra since 2015. The starting point was to create an Orchestra identity that conveyed its diverse repertoire and interesting membership. There are contrasts to be found throughout this Orchestra. For example, one of the Clarinetists was a Software Engineer on the EuroFighter Typhoon, and during working hours the Conductor (and Flautist) is an Asset Finance Broker. Although amateurs, the Orchestra punches above its weight, and concerts are accomplished and cater for most musical tastes in Southport (and even beyond to Formby): from Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 3 in D major Op 29 to Food Glorious Food, written by Lionel Bart.
