The Stratford-upon-Avon based Orchestra of the Swan (resident at the Stratford ArtsHouse) has been named as a finalist in this year's Pride of Stratford Awards. Organised by the radio station 102 Touch FM, the awards recognised the best achievements in business and the community in Stratford. The Orchestra of the Swan is one of four in the running for the Stratford's Pride Award. The winners will be announced at the awards ceremony on 13 February 2015.
Founded in 1995, the Orchestra of the Swan (artistic director David Curtis) not only gives concerts at Stratford ArtsHouse, but is an Associate Orchestra at Birmingham Town Hall, as well as working with schools in Stratford, and running a comprehensive Learning and Participation programme for all ages.
