Back to shopWe are delighted to welcome you to our 44th season, the details of which will be announced shortly.
We are very grateful to our loyal Patrons, whose names are shown below on this page, for their valuable financial support, which allows us to provide music of such high quality.
Our patrons are entitled to the following.:
We have regularly attracted world-class soloists to York and commissioned new works especially for the orchestra.
In addition to the major works in the repertoire, we have also performed under Simon Wright’s encouraging and masterful baton, all the symphonies of Mahler and Sibelius – a unique double of which we are very proud.
Our concert reviews are a testament to our successful endeavours over the years. You can read a reviews of our recent concerts here.
Your contribution enables us to continue our outreach activity of giving tickets to local schools via the York Music Hub, which does so much for music education in the city – a vital investment in encouraging youngsters to take up a musical instrument and in building audiences for the future.
We simply could not have done any of this without our Patrons’ generous donations.
You may be familiar with the remarkable story of the YGO. Founded in 1979 by John Hastie for one concert only – and here we are 45 years later! (see also The Orchestra).
I do hope that you will be able to join us for some, if not all, of our concerts this forthcoming season. Please could I take this opportunity to thank you for your valuable and generous ongoing support, which is so very much appreciated.
Our annual subscriptions are £75 for a single patron or £120 for joint patronage, which can also be paid ininstalments if that is more convenient. Any contributions above these amounts will be gratefully received.
To become a Patron simply send an email to patrons@yorkguildhallorchestra.com and I will gladly help.
Thank you for supporting us and we look forward to welcoming you to our concerts.

Patrons’ Secretary
