History
The Wandsworth Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1973 although it can trace its origins back to a group of musicians who met at the Putney Literary Institute in 1918. The Orchestra is made up of advanced amateur musicians and two professional musicians. The Orchestra rehearsed weekly at St Mary's Church, Putney and has been led by Keith Stent who has been with the Orchestra since 1963. Mollie Simmonds played cello in the Orchestra.
