The orchestra meets on Friday afternoons (except public holidays and during August) from 2pm to 4pm at Clarke Foley Centre, Ilkley to enjoy playing light and classical music. It is a friendly and informal gathering of amateur, semi-professional and retired professional musicians. New members are made very welcome.

As we meet mainly for pleasure, the orchestra gives very few concerts. We present a concert at the Clarke Foley Centre at Christmas and are occasionally asked to provide music for other events at the centre.

How do I join? If you would like to join us, please get in touch with Allan Jarvis on 0113 293 4222 or by email to allan_jarvis@hotmail.com. He will be happy to tell you whether there is currently a vacancy for the instrument you play. We would particularly welcome players of violin, double bass, trumpet and trombone.
