Under 13 Orchestra
“What a stunning performance they gave! Barely thinkable that children this age should perform the Rimsky-Korsakov Capriccio Espagnol, let alone perform it so well! No trace of self-doubt among them.”

The Under 13 Orchestra performs the third movement of Shostakovich's 5th Symphony at Leeds Town Hall on 15 August 2009.
The Under 13 Orchestra is a full symphony orchestra for children up to the age of 13. It offers children their first taste of performing in a major UK concert venue.
Members have two 9-day residential courses, one at Easter and one in the Summer, both of which end with a public concert. Previous venues have included Leeds Town Hall, Town Hall in Birmingham and The Anvil in Basingstoke. There is also a Winter non-residential weekend leading up to a concert, usually in the Queen Elizabeth Hall at Southbank Centre.
There are occasionally other special concerts by invitation and members of the Under 13 Orchestra may be invited to join the NCO Sinfonietta.
