Paraorchestra

Just announcedMusic for 18 Musicians
We create unforgettable musical experiences through our genre-defying live shows, and now, through our pioneering artist development programme, we're creating long-lasting change too
We are a fearless collective of disabled and non-disabled musicians: a platform that pushes the boundaries of music-making to create art with passion and purpose.
With a diverse ensemble led by the remarkable vision of our artistic director Charles Hazlewood, our performances are a fusion of emotion, innovation, and intrepid artistry. Behind the scenes, we focus on developing careers, building confidence, and fostering collaboration to inspire a fierce ambition and excellence that matches our artistic programme.
