Orchestra

North York Concert Orchestra includes professional and amateur musicians of all ages who perform in our public and community outreach programs.

We encourage young musicians to get involved with our orchestra, in both our rehearsals and as soloists, to help foster their love and appreciation of classical music.

If you, or someone you know, is interested in playing with us, please see our current vacancies.
