Cumbria Youth Orchestra
Join us 23/4!
Cumbria Youth Orchestra is a group of experienced young musicians (around grade 4-8 standard) who want to be part of something bigger and get more out of music.
Join us in 2023/4 for a year of Orchestral Experiences:
Spring: with Guest Conductor Stephen Threlfall (Lake District Summer Music / Chetham's School)
Summer: get into the summer vibe with an Orchestral Ibiza inspired experience – Festival Performances tbc

Join us to discover the excitement of creating live music with other young musicians, supported by our team of specialist professional tutors. If you want to explore what being part of an orchestra is like, improve your ensemble skills and raise the level of your playing, we’d love to hear from you.
