St. Gregory's Orchestra was formed in the autumn of 1986 by its conductor, Martin Wyatt, and for many years was based in the former St. Gregory's Arts Centre in Pottergate. The orchestra now rehearses in St. Cuthbert's Church, Sprowston, and aims to give three or four concerts each year. The repertoire is largely classical, with occasional forays into light opera and musicals.
