The Skye and Lochalsh Orchestra

Call Directions Website

The Skye and Lochalsh Orchestra SLO is based in Broadford on the Isle of Skye, We meet every 1-2 weeks during the autumn and winter school terms, each term ending in a concert.

Based in Broadford on the Isle of Skye, SLO is one of only three Scottish island based orchestras (the others are on Orkney and Shetland) and, as such, is one of Scotland's remotest orchestras. In spite of drawing from a population of just 12500, covering an area of over 1000 sq. miles, we have most of the instruments required for a small classical orchestra so are able to perform a wide variety of music, from baroque to modern. The orchestra is open to all who have a reasonable standard of playing (e.g. grade 4 and above).

It was Storm Boelo vs Beethoven, and Beethoven definitely won! What a great Open Day we had today - thank you to everyone came along despite the challenging conditions. It was great to meet some new faces, hear some different instruments, and have fun playing together. Here's to the next one🎵🎶

Storm Boelo is going to be making a lot of noise today, but we'll make a better one at our Open Day! Do take care getting to Portree. There will be a lull in the wind at 3pm, though not in the rain, to let us get home safely.

ROADWORKS!!
For those of you coming to the rehearsal on Saturday, there are roadworks on the A87 as you approach Harrapool from the South, which may involve being escorted through, PLUS roadworks outside the Coop car park and Dunnolie which have been causing some awful delays for drivers over the last few days. Some have reported waiting 30 minutes to get through, so please factor this in to your journey. See you there!

We're back to rehearsing! Blow the cobwebs off your music stand, dust your instrument and join us at Broadford Village Hall on Saturday 19th September, !0am. Lots of exciting new music to learn (and there might even be cake!).

A big thank you to our very generous audiences who came to our two spring concerts. We were delighted to raise a total of £400 to donate to our two chosen charities: South Skye Men's Shed and Skye and Lochalsh Young Carers. Here's our treasurer Alistair with some of the Men's Shed members. Looking forward to seeing their new premises!
