SKIPTON Community Orchestra is hosting a special musical event to mark Learn to Play Day on Sunday, March 18.
The nationwide initiative, run by the charity Music for All, aims to encourage people to take up a musical instrument by offering free ‘taster’ music lessons.
Now in its seventh year, events are taking place across the country over the weekend of March 17 and 18 and Skipton will have its very own event for the first time.
SCO will be at Christ Church, on Cross Street, Skipton, inside the main church, from 2pm to 4pm, and is inviting anyone to come along and play, or simply watch and listen. Anita Birch, co-founder of the orchestra, said: “Everyone is invited to come along – young, not so young, brand new musicians and returning musicians.”
