The Early Days The National Childrens Orchestra was started in 1978 by Vivienne Price. At first there was one Orchestra, but this rapidly expanded to 2. The Middle Years The NCO grew to 5 Age-banded orchestras with Easter and Summer courses NCO Today Lots of Orchestras, lots of courses, lots of playing NCO currently accepts around 500 children into the following age banded orchestras, which are: Training Orchestra (age range 7 to 10 years) This is a string Orchestra of around 60 children. Under 11 Orchestra (age range 7 to 11 years) This is a full symphony Orchestra of around 100 children. Under 12 Orchestra (all under 12 years old). Again another full symphony Orchestra of around 100 children. The above orchestras hold a week long course in the summer. Under 13 Orchestra(all 13 years and under) and Main Orchestras (all aged 14 and under) These are full symphony orchestras of between 105 – 115 children. They hold an Easter course and a summer course of 8 to 9 days each and perform to the general public.
