Welcome to our new website…

Feel free to have a look around and find out more about our ensembles and staff then we’d love to see you on a Saturday morning.

Nothing beats making music together – it’s good for the soul and did you know, learning an instrument is (according to one study) the number 1 activity for raising your IQ? 

We are proud of our tradition for bringing people together from across Whitby’s community to make music and have a range of ensembles to suit different abilities that we are planning to add to in the near future.
