No compromise is made for lack of age and experience. Standard works of the chamber orchestra are studied, backed up with sectional coaching, ready for a performance at the end of the Easter Course. The NCCO has had music especially written for the group, which helps to strike a balance between classical and modern repertoire.

Spaces are also available for two each of flutes, oboes, clarinets, bassoons, trumpets and horns.
