In 2027, the Northern Chamber Orchestra will celebrate its 60th anniversary. But rising costs and falling income mean reaching this milestone cannot be taken for granted.
We need your help to raise £60,000 and secure the future of outstanding live music across the North West.
For almost six decades, the Northern Chamber Orchestra has brought exceptional live music to audiences across the North West.
Today, increasing concert and operating costs, combined with reduced income, are placing that work under growing pressure. We are making significant savings while remaining committed to the artistic standards, ambition and inspiring repertoire our audiences value.
But cost-cutting alone will not protect the orchestra’s future. The NCO 60 Appeal will help us continue performing in concert halls, schools, care homes and communities as we approach our anniversary year.
Our goal is to raise £60,000 by the NCO’s 60th anniversary in 2027.
Every donation, whether large or small, will help us keep outstanding chamber music at the heart of the North West and continue sharing live music with people of all ages.
By supporting the NCO, you help us bring people together through live music in concert venues, classrooms, care homes and communities across the North West.
Helping us perform ambitious programmes with exceptional musicians and acclaimed soloists.
Inspiring young people through live performances, workshops and creative projects.
Creating moments of joy, connection and shared experience through our Mind Music project.
This is why we all do what we do. When we can enrich our residents’ days with music, when one sees the impact, literally breathing life into folk, making them dance and making them feel free to move, is there possibly anything better? Northern Chamber Orchestra, you were amazing!
There are several ways to support the NCO and help us reach our 60th anniversary.
Make a one-off gift or set up a regular donation. Every contribution brings us closer to our £60,000 goal.
Enjoy a closer relationship with the orchestra while providing valuable ongoing support.
Support one of the musicians at the heart of the orchestra and build a closer connection with the NCO.
You can also support the appeal by sending a cheque payable to the Northern Chamber Orchestra.
Coming to a concert, buying a season ticket or introducing a friend to the Northern Chamber Orchestra all help sustain live music across the region.
By joining us in the audience, you are supporting the musicians on stage and helping us build a stronger future for the orchestra.
For nearly six decades, the Northern Chamber Orchestra has brought exceptional chamber music to audiences across the North West.
With your support, we can continue that work and celebrate our 60th birthday together in 2027.
