What's On
Our flagship Crescendo programme delivers musicianship and instrumental lessons to over 1,000 children in four primary schools in areas of social and economic disadvantage in North and West Belfast.
The project aims to improve outcomes for children through access to high quality music education throughout their primary school lives and is supported by the Northern Ireland Executive Office.
Founded in 1966, the Ulster Orchestra has been at the forefront of musical life in Northern Ireland and the Orchestra’s full-time musicians form the region’s only professional symphony orchestra.
The Orchestra has had a distinguished line of principal conductors including Bryden Thomson, Vernon Handley, Yan Pascal Tortelier, Dimitry Sitkovetsky, Thierry Fischer, Kenneth Montgomery, JoAnn Faletta, Rafael Payare, Daniele Rustioni, and from Autumn 2026, Anna Handler (pictured).
