All Seasons Orchestra
The All Seasons Orchestra is a welcoming open-access community orchestra physically based in the glorious historic City of York with international connections forged during the pandemic, when circumstances challenged them to reimagine themselves as a virtual orchestra. They are delighted to be back to regularly playing together in-person and would love for you to come along and join in!
