What's on

A viola player who is a wheelchair user is at the forefront, surrounded by other musicians and audience members. All of the musicians are wearing white and everyone is dimly lit with a red hue.

We create more than just concerts

Our live shows are bold, beautiful, sense-heightening experiences that will challenge your preconceptions. 

Discover what happens when we play with form, experiment with genres and shatter musical boundaries.

We believe the orchestra is for everybody, so dive in - you’re invited.

If you’ve never seen Paraorchestra then find a way to change that - it’s a mesmerising experience that explodes every convention about what a live musical performance looks and feels like

Upcoming live shows

  1. A musician and a dancer are performing with audience members surrounding them in a circle, watching the performance intently. The musician is playing a horn, wearing a pink t-shirt, blue jeans and is a wheelchair user. Their wheelchair is balancing on its back wheels, lifted into the air and being supported by the dancer, who is faced towards the audience. The lighting is atmospheric and the performers are illuminated in contrasting blue and pink hues.
