Welcome to the Northumberland Orchestra

The Northumberland Orchestra, also known as the Northumberland Orchestral Society (NOS), is based in Newcastle upon Tyne.  Founded in 1877, it is one of the oldest amateur orchestras in England. We are a lively society of musicians from all backgrounds and walks of life with one thing in common – we love to rehearse and perform a wide variety of orchestral music. We rehearse weekly during term time at Jesmond United Reformed Church in Newcastle, and usually give three concerts a year.
