Formed in 1992 by Ron Walker, the initial aim was a one-off fundraising concert - over 30 years later we have members from all around the Tayside region and a regular schedule of concerts
Tayside Symphony Orchestra was formed in 1992 by Ron Walker with the aim of having a one-off concert to raise money for the Chest, Heart and Stroke Association Scotland (CHAS).
Over the years the orchestra has raised thousands of pounds for different charities.
Members of the Orchestra come from around the Tayside region, including Dundee, Perthshire, Angus and Fife. Some members are music teachers, some are school pupils and others are good amateurs with a lifelong interest in music. Apart from the professional music teachers, members include medical doctors, lawyers, paramedics, librarians, police forensic officers, teachers and home makers. Our only common factor is a love of music.
