NCCO's leadership is committed to our Mission, Vision and Values
Mission
NCCO’s mission is to provide high quality, affordable musical experiences for the people of Nelson County and neighboring communities in a welcoming, friendly, supportive, innovative, educational environment.
Vision
We envision a strong, inspired and enriched community, where each individual’s musical “voice” is honored and nurtured.
Values
We believe in…
The power of music
We believe orchestral music, as a powerful art form, can bring enjoyment, healing and a sense of renewal, and has the capacity to strengthen communities when the music is relevant and widely accessible.
Education
We understand that music education for all ages is the primary musical need to be filled in our community and seek to facilitate educational opportunities to reach the pubic and musicians in our community to increase musical exposure and appreciation, improve individual skills and group techniques, and increase the number of music reading players in a variety of classical instruments.
Innovative programming and collaborations
We seek to strengthen our community by designing programming that meets membership and community needs by collaborating with performing arts groups and musicians in our community, creating unique, fun and innovative interactive performances that showcase our local ethnic and cultural talents and that are available to all and that reach out to the underserved.
Diverse music genre
We appreciate all genres of music and see classical music not only as a window into a vibrant historical record but as a currently relevant genre capable of eliciting emotional responses, releasing human energy, and as research shows, stimulating brain function supporting learning, memory, cognition, problem solving and mathematics.
Quality challenging music
We value music that is played well so members and audience can feel good while listening to rehearsals and performances. We desire to play music that is both appropriate to our group’s level and that stretches our skills so we can grow as musicians.
Friendly individual support
We desire the NCCO experience to be educational, socially satisfying, fun and low stress. As each individual comes to us from varied background and ability, we want to provide positive encouragement and musical and orchestral instruction to meet each individual’s needs in a relaxed, and inspiring environment.
Working in harmony
We welcome all who wish to join us in support of our mission, vision and values. We value and respect each participant’s artistic contribution and we strive to inspire, motivate, support and protect our fellow artists to achieve our goals.
Honoring service
We encourage, respect and honor each other’s contributions of time and energy as we all strive to work together to achieve our goals and grow our organization’s resources, such as, musicians, volunteers, audience, supporters, music library, instrument inventory and funding, using non-profit best practices and embracing technology.

Programming
True to our mission, to provide high quality, affordable musical experiences for the people of Nelson County and neighboring communities in a welcoming, friendly, supportive, innovative, educational environment, NCCO provides a variety of educational programming. Whether it is educating the youth and adults of Nelson County with otherwise unavailable group string lessons, or reaching out to those who would not be able to hear live orchestral music through our Wandering Minstrels program, our vision is to build a strong, inspired and enriched community, where each individual’s musical “voice” is honored and nurtured.
