Programme Note
When the New Mozart Orchestra http://www.nmo.org.uk gave its inaugural concert in London in 1977, Classical Music magazine's reviewer wrote: 'This was the most impressive debut of recent years; it deserves to last'. And so it has.
Critical acclaim in all the national press has been echoed by the many distinguished artists who have performed with the orchestra, including John Lill: '...sincere gratitude to the orchestra which, under your sympathetic direction, afforded me marvellous and inspiring support in the Mozart K.466 Concerto.'
Diversifying into outreach activities, the NMO has contributed significantly to literally tens of thousands of children’s discovery of orchestral music through its regional concerts in schools funded by, amongst others, Arts Council England and The Rothschild Foundation.
The New Mozart Orchestra’s 40th Anniversary Concert will be conducted by its Founder and Artistic Director Clive Fairbairn.
