+ High Peak Orchestra

‘Founded in 1975 as The Co-operative Orchestra. We are based in Whaley Bridge, although membership is drawn from a wide area, including Greater Manchester and Cheshire. We perform three or four times per season in venues in the High Peak. Our repertoire ranges from Eric Coates to Sibelius, Borodin to Weber and we like to think we are ambitious in our programmes. We take part in the Buxton Festival every year and we have won acclaim and recognition.’
