The effects of Brexit will be felt far and wide, with some of the consequences more expected than others. <br /><br /> For example, the impact in the UK’s cultural sector is only just starting to be realised.<br /><br /> One of those affected is the European Union Baroque Orchestra, which is having to move from its base near Oxford to Belgium. <br /><br /> Paul James, the Director General of the orchestra, said: “It was like being winded in the stomach. I mean I really felt physically ill, depressed. <br /><br /> “Because it clearly made no sense to try to run a European Union entity from outside of the EU.” <br /><br /> Katarzyna Szewczyk, a Polish violinist in the orchestra, said: “It will be much more difficult to live or work in the UK so I think it is a difficult thing now to decide what to do. <br /><br /> “And many musicians in the UK I think have this problem now, because they just live for a long time in the UK and they have families”.<br /><br /> The ensemble has been bringing together young musicians from across the European Union for the past 32 years. <br /><br /> The orchestra will move its office and legal base to Antwerp next year, to ensure it remains in the EU once Britain leaves the bloc. <br /><br /> Many other similar cases are likely to emerge as the UK’s divorce from the EU moves closer.<br />
