Sinfonia of London is an award-winning Symphony orchestra, directed by conductor John Wilson. Often described as a ‘super-orchestra’ (ArtsDesk), it brings together outstanding musicians from the UK and abroad, including principals and leaders from other orchestras, notable soloists and members of distinguished chamber groups.
‘Sinfonia of London sets the gold standard – an orchestra of generals that takes the unfashionable, the obscure, the overlooked, and makes it unmissable.’ (The Sunday Times)
The orchestra comes together for special projects throughout the year, including concerts and recordings, to create outstanding musical experiences.
