About
the Ulster Orchestra
Mission statements embody the values and the
vision of an organisation. Enriching life through music is a clear
articulation of the goals and the dreams of the Ulster Orchestra, shaping
the Orchestra's strategies and determining its day-to-day behaviour.
The passion and commitment of this Orchestra is second-to-none. The
Ulster Orchestra, based in Belfast, is a cornerstone of cultural life in
Northern Ireland. It employs 63 full-time musicians and next year it will
be celebrating forty years of musical achievement. As Northern Ireland's
only professional symphony orchestra, its tours throughout Europe, to Asia
and the USA have enhanced the reputation of this region. The Ulster
Orchestra gives about two dozen concerts in its Belfast season, mainly on
Friday evenings, but a new Saturday strand is being developed with an eye
to creating special events across the season to attract an ever-wider
audience. Most of those concerts take place in either the Waterfront or
Ulster Halls. The Orchestra also gives concerts in many other centres
across Northern Ireland, including Armagh, Coleraine, Derry/Londonderry
and Enniskillen. Education and outreach activities which help to break
down barriers and share the excitement of live music-making form a vital
part of the Orchestra's work. Such activity is driven by a strong
commitment to developing home-grown talent and building the audiences of
the future, regardless of any seemingly disadvantaging barriers, whether
social, racial or financial. Accessibility has been a key factor in the
development of the Orchestra's web-site with its on-line booking facility
and its news, reviews and archival content. The Ulster Orchestra has
made over 60 CD recordings, several of which have won awards. Its special
relationship with the BBC, the Orchestra's exclusive broadcast partner,
results in many recordings (and many extra public Invitation Concerts),
commissions and performance relays for BBC Radio 3, Radio Ulster and BBC
TV. The Ulster Orchestra seeks the help of individuals and businesses
to maintain its work. It is important that the Orchestra can
demonstrate that its community support is widespread and that the
Orchestra's financial base has a broad foundation, rooted in that
community. The Orchestra values the continued support of its principal
funders - the Arts Council of Northern Ireland (including the National
Lottery), the BBC and Belfast City Council. Their monies, along with the
income generated from ticket sales, contribute hugely to the running of
the Orchestra. However, to achieve a secure future and maintain
the highest musical quality, there is always a substantial amount to
be found from other sources. That extra money helps to address
the shortfall, paying for education and outreach projects,
securing internationally-renowned soloists and conductors, and
funding inspirational programmes which usually require enlarged orchestral
forces.
