The IWSO has been making music on the Island for over forty-five years, with its inaugural concert taking place on 25th November 1978. We have been creating a comprehensive list of past programmes including dates, venues and conductors. We are missing some vital information from the very early years and we would welcome any assistance in making this list definitive. Please use the Contact Us form if you have any information you are able to pass on.
