heartfelt and excellent performances. Soloists including Alina Ibragimova and Ruth Palmer (both Classical Brit Award winners) have performed concertos with the orchestra.

The Orchestra also acts as a platform for young talented musicians - and has organised a 'Young Composers Award' - to promote new orchestral compositions.The Composition award is organised in association with childrens charity Dreams Come True.
