About BDYO
Banbury District Youth Orchestra was founded in September 2006 by two Banbury School students, Stephen Morris and Ally Debenham. They have since gone to University, but the group lives on and we are just going into our second season. Our debut concert in April 2007 was a huge success, and included a mixture of classical and contemporary pieces.
Rehearsals take place every Wednesday evening at Banbury School, and we have a wide range of players across a broad age range. Our new committee is working hard to raise awareness and attract more players, so if you or someone you know plays an instrument please do get in contact.
