Arch Sinfonia
Excellence | Curiosity | Collaboration | Openness
Mission: Arch Sinfonia brings together exceptional professional musicians to create ambitious, imaginative orchestral experiences. We champion women in music, explore new artistic possibilities and build meaningful connections through performance, creative learning and collaboration.
Vision: A future where orchestral music is artistically adventurous, open to more people and shaped by a wider range of voices, experiences and creative ideas.
About: Founded in 2012 Arch Sinfonia has become renowned for its boundless energy, youthful inspiration and committed performances of a wide range of repertoire. Comprising up to 40 early-career musicians from across the world, the orchestra curates engaging programmes which spanning five centuries of musical history - including popular masterworks, adventurous cross art-form projects and new music commissioned especially for the ensemble.
Artistic collaborations have included projects with the Manchester Singers, London Russian Ballet School, London Business School’s Leadership Institute, Imperial College London, Creating Ground CIC and painters from South West London’s London School of Art.
The orchestra has performed with renowned soloists, such as Inbal Segev, Zsolt-Tihamer Visontay, Amy Harman, Hannah Roberts, Katy Wooley and James Fountain amongst many others and is equally at home performing at LSO St. Luke's, Chapelle des Invalides in Paris and appearing on adverts for Ford and Sony as it is performing at its resident home at the Victorian built Greenwich-West Community & Arts Centre.
Arch Sinfonia is on a mission to re-examine the possibilities of an orchestra and break down the barriers between audience and musicians. Arch Sinfonia hope to build stronger relationships with audiences and increase the understanding of how an orchestra works: audience members will have the rare opportunity to sit amongst the orchestra, hearing the music and seeing the players from an entirely new perspective, and will help shape the Orchestra’s future Seasons through an audience vote at every concert.

Make a meaningful difference by supporting Arch Sinfonia
“I have many recordings of the Emperor Concerto, but this recording by the Arch Sinfonia is the one that I like best. I was amazed to hear details in the scoring that I had never heard before and I love the energetic way in which Chloe communicated Beethoven’s love for his audience without interfering with the music in any way. It was like listening to Boulez conduct.”
