On Saturday 1 July we invited NCO members to meet our new Artistic and Educational Director, Catherine Arlidge MBE?.
The canals of Birmingham provided the backdrop for an NCO photo shoot on Saturday 1 July, when we invited local members to meet Catherine Arlidge MBE, NCO Artistic and Educational Director.
Samantha Burley (Main Orchestra), Katie Baker (Under 12 Orchestra) and Mark Bo (Training Orchestra) had a fantastic time meeting the newest member of the NCO staff team.
The two violinists and one clarinettist even got the chance to have a quick playing session with Catherine, who is herself a violinist with CBSO and The Stringcredibles, a quartet of CBSO string players specialising in children's performance projects.
