The Ulster Orchestra is one of Northern Ireland’s cultural cornerstones and since its foundation in 1966 has become one of the major symphony orchestras in the United Kingdom and Ireland. JoAnn Falletta was appointed principal conductor in May 2011, the orchestra’s twelfth but first female and first American to be appointed to the post. The Hungarian-born violinist, Tamás Kocsis, leads the orchestra. Northern Ireland’s only professional symphony orchestra performs in front of over 100,000 people across Northern Ireland each year averaging 80 to 90 performances, including its more than 40 main season concerts, lunch-time concerts, BBC invitation concerts and concerts at many regional and national venues such as the National Concert Hall in Dublin and Royal Albert Hall in London. The Ulster Orchestra gratefully acknowledges the significant support it receives from its principal funder the Arts Council of Northern Ireland, the BBC, Belfast City Council and many of Northern Ireland’s leading businesses.
