About

Thames Sinfonia comprises players from many of London’s most prestigious orchestras and ensembles. Meeting on average three times a year, the orchestra regularly accompanies Kingston Choral Society in West London. It has also delivered special projects, including a series of concerts featuring Scandinavian music at London’s South Bank in collaboration with the Barbican Gallery exhibition, ‘Dreams of a Summer Night’. These included the first UK performances of many Swedish works by composers such as Stenhammar, Börtz, Lidholm and Rosenberg.

Founder and Artistic Director Robin Page has a special affinity for Nordic music, and the orchestra has given acclaimed performances of Sibelius and Nielsen symphonies, notably giving the inaugural concert of the UK Sibelius Society in London.

The orchestra regularly champions the work of living British composers, including Matthew Taylor whose First Symphony was dedicated to Robin Page and was first performed at the Festival of St Paul’s Covent Garden in 1985.

Guest Leaders have included Tina Gruenberg, Bradley Creswick, Gonzalo Acosto, Rolf Wilson and most recently, Heather Badke.
