National Children's Orchestra
Classic FM has worked with the National Children’s Orchestra for a number of years, giving talented children right across the country the opportunity to play in a full symphony orchestra.
The National Children's Orchestra has five age-banded orchestras, for children between the ages of 7 and 13 years. It draws together each year almost 500 talented musicians, divided into the five age banded orchestras, from all over the UK. Their eldest group - the 'Main Orchestra' is one of the world's finest children's orchestras.
