SUSWO is the only auditioned wind orchestra at the University of Southampton and is open to all woodwind, brass, and percussion players. Originally founded by woodwind and brass players at the University, we are a friendly ensemble that welcomes talented musicians from across the University. We play a varied and challenging repertoire to a high standard, giving our members the opportunity to perform regularly as part of a talented ensemble.
Auditions take place every September/October, and the orchestra has approximately forty members. We aim to perform three concerts a year, as well as going on a joint European tour with the other auditioned ensembles (SUSO, Sinfonietta).
If you are interested in finding out more about SUSWO and how to book an audition, please email suswo@soton.ac.uk
