Northern Chamber Orchestra with Nicholas Ward, violin - 5 December

The Northern Chamber Orchestra was established in 1967 and has a long history of providing high quality classical music to audiences across the North of England. It is the resident orchestra at the Buxton Festival and Orchestra in Association at Manchester’s Stoller Hall and has performed under the directorship of Nicholas Ward for over 30 years. The NCO has always attracted top soloists who love the freedom that working with a true ‘chamber’ orchestra affords, and in recent years has shared a stage with such stars as Raphael Wallfisch, Martin Roscoe, (the orchestra’s President and Vice-president respectively), Jennifer Pike, Chloë Hanslip, Jess Gillam and Freddy Kempf.

In consequence, music was an important part of his life from a very early age. After several attempts at learning the piano had proved futile, Nicholas started having violin lessons at the age of eight and when he was twelve he formed his own string quartet, which remained together for five years until he entered the Royal Northern College of Music.Having studied with Yossi Zivoni in Manchester and André Gertler in Brussels, he moved to London in 1977, where he joined the Melos Ensemble and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. After five years with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, there were two years playing mainly with the London Mozart Players and the Academy of St Martin-in-the-Fields. Between 1984 and 2010, Nicholas was a member and then latterly leader of the City of London Sinfonia. Nicholas has been Artistic Director of the Northern Chamber Orchestra for 30 years.
