The Worthing Philharmonic Orchestra, led by Music Director Dominic Grier, plays 'Symphonic Landscapes' in the town's Art Deco Assembly Hall.
Worthing Philharmonic Orchestra are back at the Assembly Hall on Sunday 7 February 2027, with Symphonic Landscapes as the title for the afternoon. It's a 3pm start, and the whole thing runs for about two hours.
If you've never caught them, the Philharmonic is a proper regional orchestra with over 80 musicians on stage, led by Music Director Dominic Grier. They're known for a full, powerful sound that fills the room, and they play at least six concerts a year, all kept at affordable prices. They're based right here in Worthing, and they make a point of staying connected to the local scene. Over the years they've collaborated with Brighton16, The Angmering Chorale, the Worthing Choral Society and The Boundstone Chorus, and they do outdoor concerts, educational workshops and performances at the Steyning Festival.
There's a focus on the next generation too. They run a Composer-in-Residence and a Student Conductor scheme to support young soloists and emerging composers, and they've got links with the University of Surrey's Tonmeister course. It's a good way of keeping new music and new faces in the mix rather than just sticking to the old favourites.

The venue is the Assembly Hall, a Grade II-listed Art Deco building that's a bit of a landmark in town. It's where the orchestra does most of its work, and it's a great spot for a matinee if you'd rather be home by tea than out late on a Sunday. The concert starts at 3pm and lasts around 120 minutes, so you're in and out in one afternoon.
