Welcome

Welcome! On these pages you will find information about WCO, our forthcoming concerts and our rehearsal schedule.

We are always playing interesting and exciting music.

Fingal's Cave, Staffa, looking in Yes, Mendelssohn was here in 1829 and it inspired him to write his overture to the Hebrides. You can hear it at our next concert on 24th January 2009. (We played his 3rd "Scottish" Symphony in July 2006). But so too were Boswell and Dr Johnson in 1773. You can read about it in their Journal of a Tour to The Hebrides, published in 1785. Fingal's view of the sea off Staffa, from the mouth of his cave!
