| Yorchestra’s five different orchestras mean that players of all abilities have great opportunities to have fun making music and making new friends, whether they have been learning their instrument for just six months or are accomplished musicians who have been playing for several years.
Each orchestra has specific grade boundaries for their players, and play a varied amount of challenging, yet enjoyable repertoire. Use these thumbnails to discover more about our orchestras.
Applications for Winter 2023 have now opened!
Yorchestra courses are held three times a year, during the school holidays at Easter, Summer and Winter. Easter and Winter courses run for 3 days, and Summer for 4. There are courses for all orchestras during the Summer and Winter sessions. Because Maestro tends to be made up of players in exam years, no Maestro course runs during the Easter holidays as most students are in the middle of preparing for external examinations. Special workshops (e.g. jazz/improvisastion, chamber music) are sometimes included in the 4 day courses. The Winter Course will take place at University of York.Winter Course 2023Save the Date: 28-30 December |
