The West of England Music Alliance’s Youth Orchestra (WESO) and Wind Orchestra (WEWO) is for young people who want to enjoy playing in an advanced level, large-scale ensemble. We perform standard and new music from the classical and popular repertoire.
We meet occasionally during the year for short courses, building up to a performance in July each year.
If you would like to join, you’ll be an orchestral instrumentalist or grade 5 (or equivalent) and above. We don’t have an age limit, but most of our players are in school year 7 and above. We also accept players up to approx 21 years old, but, where there are limit seats (eg wind/brass) we give priority to players still at school.
Our 2022-23 season comprises short courses in February and in the Easter holidays, with a final course in July. The July course is a 4-day residential at Monmouth School for Girls. We will then give our final performance back at home in the West of England.
