The Concert Orchestra is one of two full symphony orchestras in Belfast Boys' Model School. This orchestra gives students their first opportunity to gain the full orchestral experience. Prior to this the students have played in bands and string groups only. The Concert Orchestra performs in the Ulster Hall and Community Concerts in Belfast.
Every 2 years the members of the Concert Band get the opportunity to go on a Concert Tour. In recent years they have had very successful tours to New York, Paris and Prague.
