The Northumberland Orchestra was founded under the guiding vision of Dr. Phillip Schaus in 1978 when enthusiastic local musicians united to form a symphony orchestra. A year later the local choral society joined with the orchestra as the newly constituted Northumberland Philharmonic Choir. Throughout its history, the Northumberland Orchestra and choir has included and encouraged young local musicians, many of whom are now pursuing professional musical careers. With over 100 performing members in both the orchestra and choir, the NOC performs 6-8 concerts per year including performances in collaboration with SONG (Sounds of the Next Generation), Kawartha Lakes Singers, La Jeunesse Choir, La Jeunesse Youth Orchestra, Quinte Symphony and many talented and internationally renowned guests. The NOC performs all genres of music including classical, folk, jazz and contemporary.
