The Gorton Philharmonic Orchestra, Manchester (UK), an amateur symphony orchestra, was formed by the Gorton Philharmonic Society in 1854, three years before Manchester’s Hallé Orchestra. It presents Subscription Concerts at various venues including Holy Innocents Church in Fallowfield, Manchester and the orchestra now has a regular venue at Gorton Monastery for concerts in December of each year. These are popular concerts and usually sell-out well before the concert date.

We like to think of ourselves as one of the most friendly, welcoming amateur orchestras in the north west. We rehearse on Sunday mornings in south Manchester from 10.15am to 12.30pm.
