The NSO was founded in 1933 by Walter Thomas Gaze Cooper as the Midland Conservatory of Music Orchestra. In 1942 it changed its name to become the Nottingham Symphony Orchestra. Cooper conducted the orchestra for 26 years, attracting well-known guest soloists including tenor John Brecknock, cellist Florence Hooton, and pianists George Hadjinikos, Eric Hope and John Ogdon.
