It is also one of the oldest, celebrating its 60th year in 2007. It is based at Salford, in Greater Manchester, England. The late Joseph Needham founded Salford Symphony Orchestra in 1947. He was a protégé of Sir Henry Wood, on whose recommendation he came to Salford, where he was appointed director of music for Salford City Police Band. Eventually, with the help of freelance professional string players, he formed Salford Symphony Orchestra. Sir John Barbirolli was the orchestra’s President for some years. After Joseph Needham’s death, John Crossdale took over as MD; his first performance was a memorial concert for ‘Joe’. Salford Education Authority, with Jack Fryer as MD and conductor, later absorbed the orchestra. After many successful years, the orchestra disbanded in 1985. Following requests from the Salford public and musicians, Christine Clarkson started to re-form the orchestra in 1995. Concerts are given four times a year, usually in the Peel Hall of the University of Salford, sometimes with professional soloists. The current conductor is Barrie McKinnon. External links
