Could you help Yorchestra with a donation?

To provide players attending our courses with the best possible tuition and guidance, we rely on being able to engage professional musicians, supported by student tutors, who are all specialists on their chosen instrument(s).  This is why over 75% of our course fees go to cover tutor costs.

However, we also want to ensure that cost is not a barrier to children accessing what Yorchestra has to offer.  Donations are very gratefully received, since these enable us to:

  • keep course fees to the minimum needed to run the courses
  • provide bursary funding to help those who need financial assistance to meet course fees

Yorchestra is a registered charity, and is non-profitmaking, so every penny donated goes towards these aims.
