OOTS is celebrating its 21st Anniversary Season in 2017 under the leadership of Artistic Director and Principal Conductor David Curtis.

With an annual programme of over forty concerts throughout England and Wales, tours to China, Turkey, Mexico, USA and across the UK alongside groups such as Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel and James, OOTS has an international impact.

The Orchestra’s extensive discography includes repertoire by Barber, Bax, Berlioz, Brahms, Copland, Debussy, Elgar, Finzi, Ireland, Mahler, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Schumann, Strauss, Vaughan Williams and the world premiere recording of the complete symphonies by Hans Gál. The latter received outstanding critical acclaim and was featured on BBC Radio 3 ‘Composer of the Week’.
