Music is our passion
“I wish that all chamber orchestras were as good as this one! I can honestly say that this was one of the most delightful and musically rewarding orchestral collaborations of my career.”
– Howard Goodall
“What a splendid concert! The evening had real atmosphere as well as technical bravura. The conductor was in complete command of the score, the choirs and soloists sang with conviction, and the excellent Southern Sinfonia made me proud to be their Patron. Quite an achievement!”
– Sir Roger Norrington, 2023
Southern Sinfonia mourns the death of Sir Roger Norrington, founding Chief Conductor of the orchestra.
Sir Roger was much loved by all the musicians he worked with for his musicianship, collaborative spirit, highly original approach to historical performance and, of course, his sense of humour. He will be much missed by us all.
