Mission Statement
The London Sinfonietta is one of the world’s leading contemporary music ensembles. Formed in 1968, we have since commissioned over 470 works. Our ethos is to experiment constantly with the art form, working with the world’s best composers performers and artists, collaborating with young people, communities and the public to produce music projects often involving film, theatre, dance and art.
About This Cause
London Sinfonietta are resident at London’s Southbank Centre and Artistic Associate at Kings Place, and have an extensive catalogue of recordings. We develop new talent from school projects through to early career professionals, ensuring the next generation of contemporary music creators thrives. We break new ground in the digital sphere and have created a suite of apps with the musician Steve Reich, and launched our own digital channel. We believe that contemporary arts and music are relevant to all people’s lives, and commission and produce work that addresses issues affecting modern society, to connect with wider audiences and engage their imaginations. In 2021, we pioneered in the UK the first ever entirely bicycle-powered classical concert, working with theatre director Katie Mitchell in the staging of Laura Bowler’s Houses Slide (2021). More recently, we staged Alicia Jane Turner’s one-person opera Tell me when you get home with an all-female and non-binary creative team, which explored gendered experiences of walking home alone at night. We regularly collaborate with artists from other genres, and has also worked extensively with visual artists and animators. Our participation and learning work has gone from strength to strength over the past 35 years, and we were the first orchestra in the UK to begin a programme of work in this area. We reach thousands of people a year via public participation opportunities at concerts and events, schools and community engagement (both live and online) including our Sound Out concerts and Composition Challenge workshops and concerts involving the public on stage with us. Our talent development programmes provide world-class training to early career musicians through our annual London Sinfonietta Academy project, and composers are supported on our recurring Writing the Future scheme which, in the current round, has supported, produced and performed the work of four music creators including those from non-classical and diverse backgrounds.
