The Palm Court Theatre Orchestra is an orchestra specializing in performing the authentic arrangements of salon, theatre and dance orchestra music from the period 1900 - 1945.
Formed in 1978 by Anthony Godwin, at that time principal bass clarinettist with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, when he inherited a complete and rare library of vintage music from his father whose extensive family had all been musicians during the early years of the 20th century.
