About Us
Ampthill Concert Orchestra was created to provide an opportunity for the wealth of musical talent in and around Ampthill. Founded in 2004, we gave our first performance in May 2005 and since have had the pleasure of performing with some amazing soloists including Tim Gill, Daniel Shao, John Ryan, Diana Cummings, Daniel O’Brien and Bonaventura Bottone to name but a few!
Big Tent Weekend - 11th-13th July 2025
A Family Weekend of Live Music & Events for the community to enjoy. We're super excited to be playing at Big Tent Classics, on the Saturday evening of the Big Tent Weekend. It will be in a really big tent (unsurprisingly) so whatever the weather, the show will go on!
We love to play!
Our goal is to enjoy making music together and we love sharing that enthusiasm with an audience. We perform a range of concerts at different venues, including Ampthill Proms, family concerts and a more traditional concert format with soloists performing a concerto.
As well as performing these more traditional concerts, we regularly perform concerts aimed at families so they can experience a live orchestra without the traditional restrictions that might put some people off…..including the orchestra fully clad in fancy dress. Lots of fun, great music and no pressure for anyone to sit still and keep quiet!
