The Northern Chamber Orchestra has announced details of its thrilling 2018-19 season including dates in Macclesfield and elsewhere locally.
The orchestra, which turned 50 last year and is the oldest professional chamber ensemble in the North West, unveiled its new season of concerts to feature a host of international classical music stars.
These include pianist Freddy Kempf, one of the world’s finest clarinettists, as well as Julian Bliss and the orchestra’s newest artist in association, the multi-talented cellist and baritone Matthew Sharp who will also work closely with the NCO’s education and outreach team.
The line-up also includes the orchestra’s vice-president Martin Roscoe and, closing the season, world-renowned violinist Chloë Hanslip who directs the orchestra in a programme of stunning string music.
