Forthcoming events 2025
We are planning a joint concert with The Happy Voices Choir from Bolton, to be held at Holy Trinity Church on Saturday 10th May at 3.30pm in aid of Sue Ryder charity and the Holy Trinity Church Heating fund.
Skipton Community Orchestra Summer Concert – “Sounds of the Animals” – Sunday 29th June, 2pm, Holy Trinity Church
To coincide with Skipton Sheep Day, the orchestra will be playing a collection of animal-themed pieces, from Sheep May Safely Graze to Eye of the Tiger; there is sure to be something for all ages – and of course, audience participation will be actively encouraged!
We have performed at a range of local venues and events over the years, including Grassington Dickensian Festival, Grassington Festival in the Square, Buckden Gala, Celebrate Craven, Skipton Library, Christ Church School, Holy Trinity Church, Cliffe Castle Keighley, Aireville Park Community Picnic.
We never charge for our performances as we strongly believe that everyone should have the opportunity to listen to live, orchestral music. Our performances are very informal and are particularly suitable for young children, often with percussion instruments to join in with and an opportunity to try out instruments afterwards.
If you would like us to play at a community event, please do get in touch. We usually need a few months’ notice to make sure that sufficient players are available and to give us some time to practise!
