In Fall 2025, our founder had the idea to start a new orchestra with a certain sound in mind, without any money saved or any players.
Then the most amazing thing happened. From the lovely community in Notting Hill, we raised enough money to cover all the costs for a concert, and with some miracle, more than 70 absolute strangers came to join and the concert was a BLAST! We came back again for more!
Back on 13th November
And we can't stop. We're back on the 13th November with a beautiful programme of music that came out of war. Speaking not of the tragedy and horror but a sense of hope, looking forward and rebuilding, a prayer of peace.
How It Began
Everything that led to the beginning of the orchestra was bound to stay a dream. A conductor who never studied music and had never seen an orchestra live until two years before establishing his own. Speculated to be the first Turbaned Sikh Conductor. An orchestra that had no musicians in contact, no money to put on any performance. But supported by the amazing community of Notting Hill and perseverance and refusal to give up, took 6 months to build it and they finally debuted at St Peter's. with a raving response from the audience. The orchestra continues to spark conversations and establish a name among the young classical music industry.
The Next Concert
The next concert is on 13th November, 7:30 pm at St Peter's Notting Hill. The programme is Vaughan Williams' spiritual Fifth Symphony, Strauss's joyous Oboe Concerto and one of Korngold's final works, Theme & Variations. It's going to be an evening to remember.
