CSYO has about a hundred players whose ages range from 13 to 21 years. Membership is subject to audition and is open to any young players who live in or around the Sheffield locality. Most are still at school but some are at college, many of them training as professional musicians. The orchestra assembles three times a year usually during holiday periods for concentrated training courses with tutors and conductors of professional standing. The courses are usually residential and are followed by a concert or a concert tour.

WITH an average age of 16 to 17, this is the youngest orchestra the CSYO has ever had and if they stay together for another couple of years who knows what it is capable of achieving on this evidence.
Mahler’s First Symphony is not exactly easy to bring off for young musicians, especially the opening movement marked ‘slowly, dragging, very restrained throughout’. Conducting from memory, under the excellent Christopher Gayford’s guiding hand, the orchestra sustained it with admirable concentration.
