Congratulations to Charlie who has won a place in the National Children’s Orchestra of Great Britain’s Main Orchestra for 2024. The Main Orchestra is NCO’s top national ensemble made up of 13 and 14 year olds from across the UK. Charlie is one of 44 violinists selected and has done so well to get selected as a total newcomer to the NCO organisation.
Charlie has the opportunity to learn some wonderful repertoire alongside other young people of his age and ability. There will be courses at Easter and Summer as well as online activities and a final concert weekend in November 2024.
