The support from our audiences each concert is incredibly important and appreciated by every orchestra member. Our hope is to continue to provide our musicians with opportunities to play wonderful repertoire, perform at great venues and to continue to work with high quality conductors. As we only receive limited funding from the university, we must find other methods of income to ensure our concerts reach our full potential. This is why we have introduced a ‘Friends Scheme’ so that relatives, friends, students or anyone who wants to see us thrive is able to contribute. It is only through the generous donations from our Sinfonietta Friends and Alumni that allows the orchestra to play in prestigious venues both in the UK and Europe, performing outstanding repertoire and developing our musical talents under the guidance of our conductors.
