The China NCPA Orchestra or China National Centre for the Performing Arts Orchestra (Chinese: 国家大剧院管弦乐团; literally: National Grand Theatre Orchestra) is an orchestra based in Beijing, China. The orchestra gave its premiere in the spring of 2010. NCPA’s Artistic Director of Music, Maestro Chen Zuohuang is the orchestra's Principal Conductor, and Singapore-born Joshua Kangming Tan is its Resident Conductor. The orchestra and the NCPA Chorus, founded a few months before on 9 December 2009, are parts of the National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA). The Orchestra performs in most of NCPA’s own productions of operas and ballets, together with presenting its own concert series by the name of “China NCPA Concert Hall Orchestra.”(Chinese: 国家大剧院音乐厅管弦乐团)
