WHo are Yorkshire Wind Orchestra?

 

We are musicians from across Yorkshire who enjoy playing a wide range of music written or arranged for woodwind, brass and percussion (and double bass!)

While we were in lockdown we made a lockdown recording of a very quirky arrangement of Happy Birthday to celebrate our 25th anniversary.

We're now back at rehearsals and pleased to be working towards our next concert.
