Sinfonia of London

Sinfonia of London rose to fame in the 1950s as the leading recording orchestra of the day, appearing in the musical credits of more than 300 films and countless gramophone records. Relaunched in 2018 by the British conductor John Wilson, the orchestra brings together outstanding musicians who meet several times a year for specific projects. It includes a significant number of principals and leaders from orchestras based both in the UK and abroad, alongside notable soloists and members of distinguished chamber ensembles. Since their re-launch, their numerous recordings for Chandos have been met with universal acclaim. Three BBC Music Magazine Awards and a Gramophone Award, numerous five-star reviews and recording of the year plaudits keep the orchestra firmly in the limelight. In 2022 Sinfonia of London returned to the BBC Proms, The Arts Desk stating that ‘John Wilson’s handpicked super-orchestra is quite simply the most exciting thing currently happening on the British orchestral scene’.
