Join the amazing 12 and 13 year old’s of the National Children’s Orchestras of Great Britain as they present their Music in Motion programme. This concert is the culmination of the orchestra’s first week-long NCO residential of the year, which has included rehearsals, creative sessions and more. You can expect a warm, welcoming audience and to be dazzled and inspired by really remarkable young musicians.
Conducted by Natalia Luis Bassa, National Children’s Orchestras will play the following:
• Aram Khachaturian’s Gayane Suite
• Alexander Borodin’s Polovtsian Dances
• Leonard Bernstein’s Somewhere and Mambo
• Arturo Marquez’ Danzon No.2
• Perez Prado’s Que Rico Mambo
NCO’s concerts are for everyone. Join us as we appreciate the sheer joy and energy that can be experienced nowhere else than in the presence of a wonderful children’s orchestra and be part of supporting the next generation of musicians.
