Live Performance
Wind Orchestra / Concert Band
South London Symphonic Winds (Incorporating Southwark Concert Band) are based in Brixton. We are a wind band playing a wide range of classical arrangements, marches, popular music, and modern pieces.
Our principal aim is to create an environment in which a diverse set of people of all ages and backgrounds have fun making music together!
The band performs regularly around London and further afield. We have recently played at Central Hall Westminster, Trafalgar Square, the Imperial War Museum, and the London Marathon – as well as many local community events. We have recently enjoyed a successful tour to Reims in France and plan to tour again soon, as well as having an annual trip to Brighton!
There is no entry audition or any other restriction to joining; players find their own level, with solo opportunities for those who want them. Everyone is also encouraged to contribute to the organisation of the group, which attracts people from all walks of life.
Membership is by subscription, and, under the professional musical direction of Bob Bridges, we strive for the highest standards. Most importantly, SLSW aims to create an environment in which people have fun making music and socialising and sharing this with audiences locally and further afield.
Please do get in touch if you would like to know more. We hope to see you soon!
Clapham Common is a large triangular urban park in Clapham, south London. Originally common land for the parishes of Battersea and Clapham, it was converted to parkland under the terms of the Metropolitan Commons Act 1878.
One of the most iconic landmarks in the centre of Clapham Common is the bandstand constructed in 1890. It is the largest bandstand in London and a Grade II Listed Building. In 2005–2006, a full restoration of the bandstand and surrounding landscape took place, partly funded by an £895,000 lottery grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund matched by £300,000 from Lambeth Council and a further £100,000 from local fundraising efforts and the proceeds of the Ben and Jerry’s Summer Sundae event held on the Common.
It is now home to many musical events from July through to September each year.
