About South East London Orchestra (SELO)
Formed in 2012, South East London Orchestra (SELO) is an ambitious, friendly and values-led amateur orchestra based in Beckenham. We bring together skilled non-professional and ex-professional musicians who share a love of orchestral music, curiosity about repertoire, and a strong sense of community.
SELO is guided by six core values: Excellence, Adventurousness, Friendliness, Respect, Passion and Enjoyment. These values shape not only our musical standards, but also how we rehearse, perform and work together. Our audiences and players enjoy exploring a wide and diverse range of repertoire, and we are proud of the partnerships we have developed locally through our community development activities.
