Shropshire Youth Orchestra is the ideal place to allow your musical talent to shine.
Open to all orchestral instrumentalists at grade 3 and above, SYO’s weekly rehearsals will help you explore a vast world of music.
Our senior orchestra is inclusive: we welcome all woodwind, brass, string and percussion players.
Finding a welcoming orchestra can be difficult. Our rehearsals are fun and supportive, and all players work together to create a really impressive sound!
We focus on developing musicians that learn to work together, communicate effectively and respect each other’s skills and musical ideas.
At Shropshire Youth Orchestra you’ll explore a vast array of music from Stage to Screen, Latin to Funk, Classical to Contemporary.
SHROPSHIRE YOUTH ORCHESTRA regularly performs at local concerts, showcases and events around the county.
Our performances are scheduled throughout the year with the highlight always being our Summer Showcase on the Quarry Bandstand in Shrewsbury.
Family and friends are always welcome to attend and celebrate the achievements of our senior instrumentalists as they showcase the enormous progress they’ve made throughout the year.
Through rehearsals and performances, young musicians develop resilience, patience, and the ability to listen and adapt – skills that extend well beyond the rehearsal room.
The experience of contributing to something bigger than yourself brings confidence and a strong sense of achievement.
Beyond the joy of performing, orchestral experience nurtures organisation, communication, and collaboration – qualities that shine in every aspect of life and look impressive on any university or college application.
Joining SHROPSHIRE YOUTH ORCHESTRA is the ideal opportunity for your child to further progress their musical career, experience a wide range of music and develop skills that will last them a lifetime!
