Orchestra of the City

Orchestra of the City

The Orchestra of the City is based in London, England.

Founded in April 2003, the Orchestra of the City consists of amateur but well-trained musicians, and plays to a high standard. It is a subscription orchestra and is run by a committee. The current Musical Director is Chris Hopkins, who took over the role from Ben Bayl in 2009.

The orchestra performs large orcestral works with recent notable performances including Shostakovich Cello Concerto No. 1 with Guy Johnston, Bartok Violin Concerto No. 2 with Andrew Harvey and Brahms Double Concerto with Andrew Harvey and Colin Alexander. The orchestra has also been used as a rehearsal orchestra for the likes of Hideko Udagawa and Nicola Benedetti.

Future performances will include a new guitar concerto by Christopher Gunning which the orchestra will permiere in December with Craig Ogden on guitar.
