[1] In seiner heutigen Form besteht das Orchester seit 1981, als das BBC Northern Ireland Orchestra aufgelöst und das Ulster Orchestra mit Musikern von dort auf 55 Mitglieder aufgestockt wurde. Aktuell besteht das Orchester aus 63 Musikern. Überwiegend gibt das Orchester seine Konzerte in der Ulster Hall und der Waterfront Hall, teilweise auch in der Elmwood Hall, jeweils in Belfast.
