National Children's Orchestras of Great Britain

We support children aged 8-14 to be happy and healthy through transformative orchestral experiences and performances of exceptional quality. We inspire them to be the best musician that they can be, unlock their creative potential and support their wellbeing. We give children the time and respect to develop their voices and we create a sense of belonging and community. We are a fun, playful and joyous place for children.

Our vision is to be a place where children (and grown-ups) flourish through music.

Music drives our vision and we place the happiness and health of children and our workforce at the centre of our organisation.

Our mission is to maintain the excellence of our programmes, to be a more inclusive organisation and to support creativity, child voice and wellbeing for young musicians across the UK. We want to discover - and to share far and wide - what a children’s orchestra can do that no other orchestra can.
