Our Values

We hold our values dear – they are unique and authentic to us as they were co-created through a collaborative process of lively debate and discussion – just how we like to do things here!

We COMMIT to being world class

We ENGAGE with our community

These values underpin everything we do, and you will see them running through all of our company policies and procedures. Life at Ulster Orchestra is varied, meaningful and enriching - our employees live the values because they are as important to them as they are to our company.
