London Sinfonietta
The London Sinfonietta is one of the world’s leading ensembles dedicated to contemporary classical music. Founded in 1968, the ensemble quickly established a reputation for adventurous programming and virtuosic performances of works by composers such as Ligeti, Berio, Boulez, and Birtwistle. The group’s core mission is to champion new music, and it has premiered hundreds of pieces, often in collaboration with the composers themselves.
Beyond the concert stage, the London Sinfonietta is committed to education, outreach, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Its projects often incorporate electronics, visual art, and spoken word, pushing the boundaries of what classical performance can be. The ensemble’s recordings and live appearances have played a crucial role in shaping the landscape of modern classical music in Britain and internationally.
