Training Orchestra

“I am very grateful for what the NCO has instilled in my daughter from the early age of just seven. I am sure the strength and learning she has gained will empower her in any future venture.”

The Training Orchestra performs Strauss' Pizzicato Polka at Symphony Hall, Birmingham. The performance was part of the NCO's 25th Anniversary gala concert, held on 31 August 2003. Produced by The Big Yellow Feet production company.

Training Orchestra is for our youngest members, open to string players aged 7-10 years old. Members have one 8-day residential course in the Summer, which ends with a concert for family and friends.
