Welcome to the website of the Rhondda Symphony Orchestra. We are a long-standing and dynamic community orchestra serving the Valleys of South Wales. Formed in 1968 by Jeff Lloyd BEM, we regularly perform three concerts a year in early December, before Easter and early July, often in major venues such as Hoddinott Hall, St David’s Hall and the Porthcawl Pavilion.
