A standout 40th anniversary year for these brilliant young musicians will be rounded off by two stunning concerts at London’s Southbank Centre.
Now celebrating its 40th year, NCO is becoming one of the most exciting music education organisations in the UK and, in 2018 alone, our members have certainly experienced a wide range of inspirational activities.
From composing their own piece of music and playing alongside inspirational professionals, to curating short ensemble performances as a taster before their larger scale concerts, the rising stars in NCO have been empowered to share their new creative voice with audiences around the country.
Now comes your chance to witness the magic at Queen Elizabeth Hall, Southbank Centre, where two major concerts will feature works from Dvořák, Prokofiev, Bernstein, Britten and more. Make it a winter to remember with NCO!
