Lancashire Youth Symphony Orchestra

Our youth symphony orchestra (LYSO) is one of Lancashire Music Service’s county ensembles, providing inspiring opportunities for young musicians across Lancashire

Watch our online performance – LYSO and LSSO Night on a Bare Mountain – Orchestras in Lockdown:

New players very welcome (grade 5 standard and above, strings grade 4)

We also run the Lancashire Schools Symphony Orchestra for players who are beginning their musical journey working at Grade 2 and above.

We’re particularly keen to recruit young people playing strings, double reed instruments, lower brass and french horn.

The orchestra offers you the opportunity to work with inspiring leaders and professional musicians, alongside like-minded young people from across Lancashire.
