Airedale Symphony Orchestra was set up in 1898 as the Keighley and District Orchestral Society, changing its name in 1982.

Since then the ASO has built up a high reputation for its performances, largely playing to near capacity audiences.

In 1988, to mark its 90th anniversary, the orchestra toured to Norway giving concerts in Stavanger and Sandnes.

To celebrate its centenary year in 1998 the orchestra performed Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony with the Bradford Festival Choral Society, toured Ireland to appear in Galway and commissioned a new work, Airedale Variations, from local composer William Kinghorn.

Also in 1998, the ASO gave the northern première of Elgar’s Third Symphony, which was reconstructed by Anthony Payne.
