Formed in the 1960s, the Northern Chamber Orchestra has gained a formidable reputation performing music from Corelli to Stravinsky and beyond. The members are distinguished chamber musicians who play as principals with other orchestras and as soloists. Concerts are given throughout the northern half of England and the orchestra accompanies the main opera productions at Buxton Festival. The NCO has recorded over thirty CDs with many outstanding reviews: the recording of Stravinsky’s The Soldier’s Tale was considered by BBC Radio 3’s CD Review programme to be the best English version.
