Based in Macclesfield, the Northern Chamber Orchestra is over 50 years old.

The NCO’s first concert spotlights Raphael Wallfisch, one of the most distinguished solo cellists of our time, who will perform a wonderful programme with the orchestra.

Lauded as “the world’s finest and most daring percussionist” by The Spectator, Colin Currie leads the orchestra in another great programme in the New Year.

In March, Virtuoso pianist Benjamin Powell joins the Northern Chamber Orchestra for an exciting programme of Shostakovich, Mozart, Tchaikovsky and Handel.
