The West Wiltshire Youth Orchestra is a full sized symphony orchestra, made up of strings, woodwind, brass and percussion. Players in the group are normally secondary school age and stay with us until they leave school at the age of 18. We play a wide variety of music including standard orchestral repertoire as well as film and popular music.
Progression
Once they reach the correct standard members of the West Wiltshire Youth Orchestra can audition to join the West of England Youth Orchestra or the Wiltshire Youth Jazz Orchestra. We have also had members go on to be part of the National Youth Orchestra.
