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: We are preparing our program for our Summer Concert which will take place on Saturday, 13 July at Guildford URC.  Also, head over to the gallery section with new photos celebrating our Godalming Festival success.
