Inviting local musicians, students in schools and universities, teachers, families and alumni to join Sheffield Youth Orchestra for a FREE inspirational day of music making.
Calling all Sheffield (and surrounding area) musicians both young and old! We are delighted to announce the next installment of our community day series - rehearsing and performing epic orchestral film and contemporary scores under the baton of our new conductor, River Edis-Smith.
Billy the Kid Suite - Aaron Copland (Full-Day)
Chicken Run - John Powell (Part-Day)
All ages and backgrounds are welcome, but we strongly recommend ABRSM Grade 5 and above, (or with similiar experience without the equivalent grading) for full-day participants.
NEW: Beginners instrumentalists are invited to participate in community day for a mini rehearsal from 3:30pm, culminating in a concert with everyone from 5:15pm. For the part-day experience, we will be rehearsing and performing Chicken Run and is suited for ABRSM Grade 1-4 players.
There will be an free informal performance at 5:15pm for friends and families to attend at The Leadmill.
A free light lunch buffet and refreshments will be provided throughout the day.
The day is free to attend for all players and audience members, however we welcome any donations for the running of the day. Donation buckets will be placed at the end of the concert.
