Founded in 1984, we are an amateur chamber orchestra of the highest standard.
The orchestra does not have a fixed membership or a permanent musical director. This enables it to engage a wide range of accomplished musicians to direct and play in each concert.
We promote five concerts a year and also specialise in accompanying choral societies. We organise instrumental workshops, and are involved in twinning concerts, fireworks concerts and concerts for charities.
NEW PLAYERS NEEDED We are always in need of good new players, especially violins. To apply to play with the orchestra, please email info@OxfordSinfonia.co.uk.
In 2007 The Oxford Sinfonia raised £1000 for Medecins sans Frontieres and supported Oxfam in a come-and-sing Messiah.
We support the ART ROOM charity in come-and-sing concerts in the Sheldonian Theatre: 2007 Haydn Creation, 2008 Verdi Requiem, 2009 Mozart, Haydn and Handel. 2010 was Mendelssohn Elijah, 2011 brings Rossini Petite Messe Sollenelle.
We are a registered charity no 1005364
