The Nottingham Philharmonic Orchestra is the premier non-professional orchestra in Nottingham and is regarded as one of the leading amateur orchestras in the UK. It was founded in 1974 as the Nottingham Sinfonietta, an invitation-only chamber orchestra that aimed to provide the opportunity for high-quality music-making to the most talented musicians in the region. Over the years the orchestra has grown in size and changed its name to the Nottingham Philharmonic Orchestra to reflect a change in focus to full size symphonic repertoire.

Mark Heron is a Scottish conductor known for dynamic and well-rehearsed performances across an unusually wide range of repertoire, and his expertise as an orchestral trainer. He is the music director of the Nottingham Philharmonic Orchestra and professor of conducting at the Royal Northern College of Music, where he works regularly with all of the college’s orchestras and ensembles and runs the renowned conducting programmes. he undertook conducting studies at the RNCM and in masterclasses with Neeme and Paavo Jarvi, Jorma Panula and Sir Mark Elder. He worked with Sir Colin Davis and the London Symphony Orchestra on their mentoring programme for young conductors.
