About THE SOOKE PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY
Founded in 1997 by Norman Nelson, the full size semi-professional orchestra performed its first symphony concert in June 1998.
With the subsequent introduction of the Chamber Players and the Philharmonic Chorus, the concert season has expanded to 4 programs, 2 events, a Chamber Music Workshop and a Concerto Competition, plus the ever-popular “Fling”, an open air pops concert performed each summer. In addition, small ensembles perform regularly at community events and fund raisers.
