About Orpheus Sinfonia Foundation
The Orpheus Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation working to provide professional opportunities for the finest young musicians in London.
Orpheus Sinfonia Foundation Description
Orpheus Sinfonia Foundation was founded to support and nurture talented young musicians, emerging from conservatoire, to embark on professional careers, by enabling opportunity, work and professional experience. Through this we promote musical excellence and reaching future generations, responding to lack of musical access for young people (as evidenced in government reports). To achieve this we produce high-quality performances for public benefit, exploring new and ground-breaking avenues and also actively engage with accessible performances, outreach work and community interaction. Wide-ranging high-level performances incorporate symphonic repertoire, world premières, curated and bespoke programmes, children's interactive performances, workshops and introductions, choral works, orchestra live to film and opera. In the past year we have provided work for 196 musicians, giving 36 performances to public diverse audiences of 14861, brought music to 3183 school children & 13 schools. Responding to the lack of access to music for young people we create projects that open the doors to symphonic music for all ages and backgrounds. We achieve these activities by working with a wide array of partners in relevant areas, so strengthening what we can achieve and the reach our work covers. We actively seek out those who will benefit most from our activities.
We are most grateful for the generous support and sponsorship of our friends, benefactors and trusts and foundations, which enables our activities to the benefit of so many.
“Superb playing by the Orpheus Sinfonia…deliver the highest level of excellence. ”

We couldn’t have been more glad of this beautiful COOL church for our sitz of #DasRheingold in yesterday’s 37degree heat. Incredibly exciting to hear it all coming together for the first time and to meet our superb cast! Running 31st July - 10th August Arcola Theatre #GrimebornOpera
Bring on Saturday! We’re very much looking forward to being in Cambridge!
Opening night tonight!! So beautiful here at West Green House Opera! Great Rossini opera, and such a fab team!
And what perfect detox to Wagner: today we have been rehearsing Rossini #L’InganoFelice for West Green House Opera Zinging melodies and sprightly fun - can’t believe Rossini was just 18 when he wrote this! Look forward to putting it all together on stage tomorrow.
And #DasRheingold is underway! 18 musicians, 30 instruments! Great first day of orchestra rehearsals, sounding epic - what a cracking arrangement by Jonathan Dove! Running at Arcola Theatre 31st July - 10th August! Don’t miss a rare opportunity to hear Rheingold in under 2 hours! #GrimebornFestival
Just a week to go until we're in Cambridge for the Festival Finale at Cambridge Summer Music under the baton of David Hill and with pianist Patrick Hemmerlé. A wonderful sprightly programme of Mendelssohn and Beethoven! Just a small little handful of tickets left now - grab them while you can!
Woohoo - it’s really happening!! Come join us at the Arcola Theatre for #DasRheingold!!! Yes you heard right, not every day we have that on the menu! 31st July - 10th August.
Great to see fantastic reviews of Mark Richard Burns's production at Buxton International Festival - Bravo all! We look forward to working with him next week at West Green House Opera where he is directing our performance of Rossini's L'Inganno Felice and we'll be under the baton of our wonderful Principal Guest Conductor Oliver Gooch.

Wonderful to have been a part of Newbury Spring Festival’s schools visits earlier this year, and couldn’t agree more!
It’s not everyday opera involves a flypast and aerial-acrobatics! #Andromeda at the Charles Kingsley 200 Festival in Eversley, with Cantata Dramatica
