The North Cheshire Wind Orchestra (NCWO) is a friendly and dynamic community wind orchestra with around 30 members. We’re based in Warrington and rehearse on a Friday evening from 7.30 – 10pm.

We currently have a number of vacancies for percussionists, clarinets and string bass.

We enjoy playing a wide range of music with a focus on music for modern wind orchestra. The NCWO operates a commissioning scheme and over the years we have commissioned numerous works for wind orchestra. Our most recent composition was ‘Catharsis‘, composed for the NCWO by Tom Harrold. Catharsis was premiered by the NCWO on Saturday 12th March 2022.
