BBC Oxford News

I am very excited that NSSO appeared on the BBC Oxford News this evening.  A quintet of very lucky students from the 2011 orchestra had the chance to work with Patrick Doyle today in Oxford and the local news came to see what we were doing.  If you missed it you can catch up on BBC iPlayer for the next 24 hours.

Thank you

A very big thank you to all those who made a donation at this year’s concerts and to those who have made donations afterwards.  This has given us enough to make a difference to 4-5 children next year who would not otherwise have been able to come on the course.  If you would still like to make a donation or would be interested in funding a child next year please contact me as soon as possible via e-mail rebeccawoodward@nsso.org and I will be able to e-mail you a gift aid form and further details.
