  • Bio

    One of Europe’s most celebrated and innovative chamber orchestras, Britten Sinfonia is praised for the quality of its performances and an intelligent approach to concert programming that is centred around the development of its players. Unusually it does not have a principal conductor or director but chooses to collaborate with a range of the finest international guest artists from across the musical spectrum as suited to each particular project. The 2010 – 11 season will see Britten Sinfonia working with James MacMillan, Brad Mehldau, Barbara Hannigan, Mark Padmore, Angela Hewitt, Joanna MacGregor and Arve Henriksen amongst other artists. Recent seasons have included projects with Christopher Hogwood, Efterklang, Pierre-Laurent Aimard, Nico Muhly, Pekka Kuusisto, Imogen Cooper, Stephen Layton and Polyphony. Britten Sinfonia has residencies in Cambridge and Norwich with a major concert series at London’s Southbank Centre and Wigmore Hall. The orchestra also performs in many of Europe’s finest concert halls and festivals including invitations this season to the BBC Proms, the City of London Festival and venues such as the Eindhoven’s Muziekcentrum, Vienna’s Konzerthaus, Glyndebourne and London’s Barbican Centre. The group enjoys a blossoming international profile, including tours of South America, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain and Mexico, with plans to tour the United States, Canada and a return to South America. The orchestra has received many awards including the prestigious Royal Philharmonic Society Chamber Music Award in May 2009 for its Britten Sinfonia at Lunch series, the RPS Ensemble Award in 2007 in recognition of its work, a Gramophone Award in 2008 and the 2008 Arts & Business International Award.
