The National Repertory Orchestra - Nurturing the Future of Music
Come to Breckenridge and hear the result of all of the hard work and determination that equips young musicians for orchestral music careers.
The NRO performs two full orchestra concerts each week in Breckenridge’s beautiful Riverwalk Center between late June and mid-August. In addition, members of the NRO take part in smaller chamber concerts during the festival, and the full orchestra plays at several other locations in the state. NRO Alumni currently play in virtually every major and regional orchestra in the U. S. and in orchestras world-wide.
