XY Strings

 

XY Strings, so-called because it used to be run by Guildford YMCA, is supported by Guildford United Reformed Church, and particularly by the church’s Music Society, which has a special interest in promoting music-making by young people. We are very grateful to the church for the use of its premises, in which we meet on Tuesday evenings in term-time from 5.45 – 7.15.

 

XY is essentially a teaching group for junior string players (of all ages!) of approximate standard Grades 2 – 5, with some very welcome help from a number of more experienced players.

We present a Carol Evening at Christmas, play in local music festivals, and give Summer Concerts. 

New members are always welcome - just contact Gillian on gillian.lloyd@hotmail.com.

 

 

Latest News:  Regular rehearsals have resumed at Guildford URC on Tuesdays and we are now preparing our program for the next round of festival performances, along with some more relaxed pieces and new repertoire.  

 

A group of volunteers represented XY Strings at the Guildford URC community fun day on Saturday, 31 August, supported by a friendly and receptive audience.  We played a selection from our new program, including In Dreams, from Lord of the Rings.

A typical rehearsal session...
