BBC Concert Orchestra

The BBC Concert Orchestra was formed in 1952. It has a wide and flexible repertoire, ranging from classical works and musical theatre to light music and film scores, and appears with a huge range of artists every year. Its Conductor Laureate is Barry Wordsworth and Principal Guest Conductor is Charles Hazlewood. Anne Dudley was the Orchestra’s first Composer-in- Association; and Jonny Greenwood has now taken on that rôle as Composer-in-Residence. The Orchestra has close links with BBC Radio 3 which broadcasts the majority of its concerts and with BBC Radio 2 where it is featured on the weekly programme Friday Night is Music Night. On BBC television the BBC Concert Orchestra has appeared in several programmes and can be heard on countless BBC TV soundtracks including the award-winning natural history series Blue Planet and Planet Earth on BBC 1. The Orchestra performs annually at the BBC Proms, makes regular visits to the Royal Festival, Royal Albert and Barbican halls in London and appears throughout Britain and abroad. It has made many recordings, with recent releases on Chandos, ASV White Line, Dutton Epoch and Naxos. The Orchestra is resident at Chichester Festival Theatre and Watford Colosseum.
