The University of Southampton Sinfonietta Orchestra is currently in its sixth year under the guidance of professional conductor Andrew Morley. It has quickly developed a desirable reputation for providing top quality music with a wide ranging repertoire of both classical and contemporary music.

In recent seasons, we have performed most of the central repertoire of Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert. Our contemporary repertoire stretches from Janacek to Stravinsky to Panufnik as well as four world premieres by our composer in association, Daniel Field, and Maltese composer Albert Garcia. Recently, we performed Rachmaninov’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganni, where we were joined with world renowned pianist David Owen Norris, who played again with us last year with Mozart's Piano Concerto in C major. Last year we also performed Elgar's Enigma Variations, Beethoven's Symphony No.5 and Saint Saëns' Cello Concerto No.1, and the world premiere of Joe Miserendino’s ‘The Wilson Concertante’ Euphonium Concerto with Charley Brighton.

This year we have an ambitious and challenging programme of music. We are performing three concerts during the course of the year in the Turner Sims Concert Hall, one of Southampton's finest performance venues. For all concert details keep watching the concerts section of this site.
