The Scarborough Symphony Orchestra consists of about 65-70 players, who between them give well over 6000 hours of their time every year to preparing public performances. They come from as far as Beverley, Helmsley & Guisborough.

Nowadays, we have an average attendance at rehearsals of about 60 and we currently present 5 public concerts per season.  Our ever-growing audiences seem to enjoy our enthusiastic music-making, as well as our innovative and varied programme building, combining lesser known works with popular favourites.  20% of the seats are sold in advance to holders of our Golden Tickets.

We have a policy of encouraging young people to discover real music; student players do not have to pay a membership subscription, and tickets to our concerts are free to children and full-time students.

We gratefully acknowledge help and support from our Patron, Lady Ayckbourn, the Friends of the Orchestra and non-playing members. We would also like to say a huge thank you to our generous sponsors over the last year: Broadland Properties Ltd, Lady Ayckbourn, Scarborough & District Arts Association, Boyes Stores and an anonymous benefactor.
