ORION SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

The Orion Orchestra is a London-based symphony orchestra for exceptionally talented young musicians soon to leave music college. Performing within the city's most prestigious venues, it aims to encompass the full range of orchestral styles and disciplines its members will encounter in their later professional lives, from operatic and orchestral music to contemporary and fusion styles.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Latest accounts are overdue for filing
Income has been volatile recently

Established: 12 years
