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.
New Artistic Partners at The Glasshouse
John Wilson and Sinfonia of London have been announced as new Artistic Partners at The Glasshouse International Centre for Music from Autumn 2025 onwards. John Wilson said 'I am beyond excited to announce this new partnership between the Glasshouse and my orchestra Sinfonia of London. The audiences of the North East have always been passionate about good music of every kind and I look forward to our first season of concerts, which reflect various aspects of my musical life, showcasing epic symphonic works, 20th century English masterpieces and classics of Hollywood and Broadway. To play all of this music in one of the great concert halls of the world - and all in my home town - is a dream come true.'
