The orchestra performs 6 concerts per year in Derby and the surrounding area. These comprise four concerts with classical works, one at Christmas with popular music for families and one aimed at children. The orchestra is keen to widen access to both its players and to audiences. We offer concessions to seniors and students both on players' subscriptions and on the entrance fee to most concerts.
