Trafford Youth Philharmonic Orchestra is the senior orchestral group of the five which comprise Trafford Youth Orchestras. It draws players from the junior ensembles, and from across the North West region. The orchestra, which meets on Friday nights at Acre Hall Primary School from 6.45 - 9.00, performs locally three times a year, and also takes part in several other high-profile events. In recent years, several members of TYPO have gone on to study at music college, and some return to assist the orchestra during vacations. Under their conductor, Mr Paul Witkiewicz, the orchestra performs repertoire from a wide range of periods and styles.
