Biography
Formed in 1967, the orchestra has established itself as one of England�s finest chamber ensembles. Though often augmented to meet the requirements of the concert programme, the orchestra normally contains 24 musicians and performs both in concert and on disc without a conductor. Their repertoire ranges from the Baroque era to music of our time, and they have gained a reputation for imaginative programme planning.
Concerts have taken the orchestra throughout the North of England and it has received four major European bursaries for its achievements in the community. With a series of recordings for Naxos the orchestra made its debut on disc.
