You are welcome to pop along to our regular
THURSDAY evening group
whenever you’re free.
We meet at 7.15 and play from 7.30-9pm GMT
with a brief comfort break mid session.
In addition to our weekly group (which you really can just turn up to when you’re free). We also run an events programme which allows us to explore a wider range of repertoire and playing opportunities of varying shapes and sizes. Please note that booking is required for events but not for the weekly group.
You are invited to join Catherine and the All Seasons Orchestra for the day to explore Beethoven’s fantastically juicy and dramatic 3rd Symphony aka. the Eroica. It really is an epic piece and was apparently Beethoven’s favourite out of all of his purely instrumental compositions.
Players of all instruments and abiliities are welcome – we have numerous strategies to help you along even if you can’t play every single note so don’t let that deter you. The more is definitely the merrier particularly for this piece as it calls for a sizeable orchestra.
Join us a bit earlier than usual on Thursday 26th October so we can enjoy some light refreshments and hold our Annual General Meeting before we begin the serious business of music making.
It’s a nice chance to reflect on where we’ve been over the last 12 months and to contribute to plans for the next 12 months.

In 2020, the All Seasons Orchestra of the Redwood Coast in California, USA reached out to the All Seasons Orchestra in York UK, looking for players to collaborate on a virtual orchestra recording project during lockdown. A beautiful friendship was formed as the two orchestras supported each other through the trials of the pandemic. This film is the fruit of our first collaborative project: Leroy Anderson’s Sandpaper Ballet.
As we return to in-person events, we want you to know the ASO committee are doing all we can to ensure we keep our players safe. Below you will find our Covid-Secure Guidance for Members and Risk Assessment.
They include details about what to do when you arrive, what to bring, and options to consider to help keep yourself and your fellow orchestra members safe.
By following these guidelines, we can work together to make the most out of our time playing music!
Please be aware that these events are open-access. Please respect people’s privacy and do not record any part of these sessions.
We recommend you take the following precautions:
