Welcoming Children of all ages and abilities and their Families

Exeter Children's Orchestra offers children and young people aged 7-18 (and their families) the chance to play a wide variety of music in a fun, friendly and safe environment.

New members are always welcome and there are no scary auditions!  ​

Exeter Children's Orchestra is a charity registered in England (no.801384). The orchestra is run by a committee of volunteers - all parents of orchestra members - who make sure that the orchestra is a fun and safe place for children to make music.
 
Parents who wish to play too are DBS checked. And are most welcome to join this unique orchestra. 

The orchestra puts on at least 3 concerts a year and also makes special guest appearances at music festivals such as the Teignmouth Classical Music Festival and the Devon Mix

It's not all music making though. We also try to have an annual social event for the children and parents as well as efforts to start overseas trips post-COVID.
