City of Leeds Youth Wind Orchestra

City of Leeds Youth Wind Orchestra rehearse 7-9pm, Tuesdays at Pudsey Civic Hall, LS28 5TA.

This is an auditioned group for players grade 5/6 and above. Please contact educ.artforms@leeds.gov.uk if you are interested in joining. Auditions may be held mid-year if there are spaces available.

City of Leeds Youth Wind Orchestra play a broad range of music: from transcriptions and arrangements of classical works to contemporary music written for wind bands, music from theatre and film as well as pop and jazz. The age range of the group is 12-19 and we play at around Grade 5-6 level and above. Musicians are welcome to join without formal qualifications if they are of the right standard. Auditions are held in June but expressions of interest are always welcome as spaces may be available throughout the year.

In July 2024, we toured the Rhineland, Germany with the City of Leeds Youth Orchestra.

Conductors: Michael Cox & Will Rhodes
