WSO mourn the death of longstanding member Gordon Thorburn
February 27, 2020
It is with great sadness that WSO announces the death of Gordon Thorburn on 8th January 2022. Gordon was a violinist in WSO for several decades and subsequently initiated the Friends of WSO scheme which has been a vital source of support to the orchestra. He was also a greatly valued and long-standing Trustee of WSO, serving on the Board until November 2021 when he had to step down owing to ill health.
Our regular audience members may have noticed our lovely purple concert folders which were donated by Gordon and his wife Sue. WSO are considering how to pay a fitting tribute to Gordon and details of this will be published in due course.
