The Duet Philharmonic Orchestra has enjoyed a long and fruitful association with Wellington College. As a unique Youth Orchestra masterminded by the Duet Group, 150 or more young musicians make Wellington their home during the Easter vacation to prepare a mammoth performance leading to its climax at the Royal Festival Hall. Such an undertaking requires immense organisation, resource and commitment and our partnership with Wellington has always been excellent. Everything is meticulously planned, and our facilities rental goes far beyond the simple provision of services. Managing performance and rehearsal space and equipment, accommodation, all meals, leisure facilities and broader hospitality and business needs is no mean feat, and the Wellington College team are the very best at supporting our needs. The facilities themselves are, of course, second to none and this combined with the location, infrastructure, logistics expertise, flexibility and attention to detail mean that we never need to look elsewhere to meet our requirements. Nothing is ever too much trouble and their ‘can do’ attitude and professionalism at all times is refreshing.
