Under the leadership of Nicholas Ward..the NCO is now one of the best chamber orchestras in Britain..The vitality of the playing, with a lively ensemble, is a great tribute to the corporate talents of the players and the leadership of Nicholas Ward..the NCO have set a high standard, to match that which they have achieved and maintained in their concerts in the past few years."

As a small non-government funded arts organisation, we face a constant battle when it comes to financial sustainability. To combat the fact that we receive no regular grants we have introduced a Patron Scheme. If you feel in a position to help the orchestra, any donation will be gratefully received. If you are a taxpayer, we are able to claim Gift Aid and receive an extra 28% and those who donate £100 or over will be acknowledged in our concert programmes. If you can join the NCO as a patron, please contact the NCO office on 0161 247 2220 or send a mail to info@ncorch.co.uk

Sponsorship plays a large part in the funding of the NCO and it is with this funding that we can achieve our goal of providing world class live music to people in the community. If you, the business you work for, or a company with whom you may have contacts, would enjoy sponsoring a concert or a series of concerts by the NCO, then please get in touch with us. We are happy to discuss any ideas.
