Thierry Fischer with the Orchestra
"With the BBC NOW musicians playing as if these were their own lives on the line, the passion and commitment was total... it could hardly have been more alive and compelling." - The Guardian
The BBC National Orchestra of Wales has long held a special place in the heart of its community. But what is it about this orchestra that makes it so cherished in a country famous for the music flowing through its veins?
Perhaps it's because underpinning all of its work is an enthusiasm and commitment for live orchestral music that is second to none.
