Skipton Community Orchestra

Welcome to Skipton Community Orchestra. The orchestra was set up in January 2012 to provide an opportunity for people to come along and play music together and hopefully make a reasonable sound! We are open to all abilities; some people are just learning a musical instrument while others are experienced players who have not picked up their instruments for a long while. The emphasis is on having fun - we just want everyone to enjoy the sessions and maybe learn something new along the way. Don't worry if you're a bit rusty as it's all for fun so come and have a go! The orchestra meets twice a month in the evening. There is no need to commit to coming to every rehearsal - it is "pay as you play" and is aimed to fit around our busy lives. Our rehearsals are informal and we play a variety of well-known classical pieces as well as some more contemporary tunes, songs from musicals and films etc. We tend to hold a Summer and a Christmas concert every year.
