About
NCO are enormously proud to present their eldest musicians for their final performance with NCO before they move on to new adventures.
At just 13 and 14 years old, these are some of the UK's most remarkable young musicians and their creativity, skill, resilience, determination and flair is truly impressive.
Conducted by Andrew Morley, they will play:
- Erich Wolfgang Korngold The Sea Hawk
- Bernard Herrmann 'Prelude' & 'The Nightmare' from Vertigo Suite
- William Walton's Suite from Henry V
- Nino Rota arr Wadsworth La Strada
- Modest Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition
In 2025, these musicians have taken part in two residential orchestral programmes featuring rehearsals, artist workshops, creative work and wellbeing sessions, as well as a complementary online programme. This concert is the final showcase of their incredible hard work.
NCO's concerts are for everyone. Join us as we appreciate the sheer joy and energy that can only be experienced in the presence of a wonderful children's orchestra, and be part of supporting the next generation of musicians.
Does your child play an instrument at school or with the local Music Education Hub? Contact info@nco.org.uk to find out about booking up to 2 complimentary tickets to the concert for you and a family member.
