The National Children's Orchestra has five age-banded orchestras, for children between the ages of 7 and 13 years. It draws together each year almost 500 talented musicians, divided into the five age banded orchestras, from all over the UK. Their eldest group - the 'Main Orchestra' is one of the world's finest children's orchestras. The NCO gives talented children the chance to play in a full symphony orchestra.
Our week-long residential courses are stimulating, educational and great fun.
Members enjoy performing in concerts up and down the country. The photo is of their 25th Anniversary concert at Symphony Hall, Birmingham when more than 500 members and ex-members performed to a packed house.
The Training Orchestra, Under 11 and Under 12 Orchestras give end of course concerts to parents and friends. The Under 13's and Main Orchestras give public performances.
