Southern Sinfonia

the professional chamber orchestra resident in taunton and performing across the south of england

  We firmly believe everyone deserves the opportunity to experience a wide variety of classical music, no matter what age.The Orchestra is renowned for its musical excellence and is one of the most distinctive chamber ensembles in the South.Southern Sinfonia performs in Taunton and other venues, accompanies a range of well known Choirs and Choral Socities in major Cathedral performances and is developing an Education programme for students andrecitals in Care Homes for those living in and around our Garden Town   

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.
