Can’t wait for the next Havant Orchestras concert? Perhaps there’s some other concert you might like in the meantime! The following table lists local events which may be of interest to our players and audience members, including concerts by other local orchestras (especially amateur orchestras) and occasional chamber music concerts. Each event date links to a page containing further information. Grey buttons link to external websites which will open in a separate tab or window.
Most of the other orchestras and ensembles in this list include players who also play with the Havant Orchestras. The area covered includes Havant and Fareham and adjoining areas such as Portsmouth, Southampton, Winchester, Petersfield and Emsworth, and even further in some cases (including Basingstoke, Chichester and the Isle of Wight).
The information in this list is mostly based on other sources on the web and may not always be up-to-date and complete, so you are advised to verify details elsewhere, for example by visiting the relevant event website. Entries marked with an asterisk "*" indicate that existing details for this event (date, venue or programme) have been changed since the entry was first added.
