The National Children’s Orchestras of Great Britain are celebrating their 35th Anniversary this year with a Gala Concert at Birmingham Symphony Hall on Saturday 31st August  2013, featuring musicians all the way from the Training Orchestra right up to the Main Orchestra and recent alumni ensemble Encore.

Prior to the anniversary concert, the NCO are hosting a series of Summer Concerts across the country, kicking off with the Main Orchestra’s Summer concert on 27th July 2013 at 7pm at the Barbican, where Daniel Harding, an ex-NCO member will be speaking.

With so many events coming up for The National Children’s Orchestras of Great Britain, along with the big changes in music education in the UK, we invited the NCO’s Managing Director Sarah Derbyshire to have a chat with us in the WildKat PR offices for a video blog, which can be seen below.
