What does your role involve? Being Publicity Officer allows me to keep everyone updated about our upcoming concerts, rehearsals, and other events through our social media pages and our website – I also design our programmes for concerts, so follow us on all our socials, and come along to our concerts to see what I’m up to! I’m also one half of the Tour Secretary team – I work alongside Rosie to organise our annual joint tour for Sinfonietta and our Symphonic Wind Orchestra to a city in Europe!
Favourite moment in Sinfonietta? One of my favourite moments in Sinfonietta actually took place outside of rehearsal time – it was when we went ice skating for a social event. I really felt like I bonded so much with everyone in the group; after all, nothing bonds you more than everyone helping you back on your feet after you fall over three seconds after stepping onto the rink!
What are you looking forward to this year? Next year, I’m really looking forward to meeting the new members to the orchestra and welcoming them in like everyone had done for me. There’s such a familial feel to the group and I’ve found some of my closest friends through Sinfonietta.
