THE Darlington and Dales Youth Orchestra is organising audition schedules.

Musical director Jacqui Inglis said: "The closing date for applications will be early December and we really want to ensure anyone of grade six playing standard and above has the opportunity to perform."

The orchestra will meet on Sunday afternoons between January and March.
