Testemonials
"The first time I came to SYO I'd never heard wind or brass instruments together with strings, and they sounded so good together. I love being in the middle of it all!" (Susie, SYO Sinfonia)
"I’m coming towards the end of my first year at the University of York, studying Music. It’s been the absolute best year ever. SYO was definitely a key part to my musical growth and journey. I really enjoyed playing and being part of the SYO orchestra. It brought me so much happiness playing and performing all together with my friends." (Hannah, leaver 2023)
