YYO is where musical progression becomes a shared orchestral experience: challenging repertoire, expert direction and the excitement of performing together.
Serious music. A welcoming orchestra.
The orchestra brings together committed young players at an advanced stage of their development. Rehearsals lead to substantial performances, including the orchestra's spring concert at Selby Abbey, while introducing players to both established repertoire and new musical ideas.
York Music Centre members can make YYO part of a wider weekly musical life, with clear progression from early ensembles towards ambitious orchestral playing.
A route to excellence
Ambition, achievement and high-quality orchestral performance.
