Arch Sinfonia
Arch Sinfonia is a cross-art chamber orchestra based in London.
Founded in 2012, by the dynamic young conductor Chloé van Soeterstède, Arch Sinfonia has become renowned for its boundless energy, youthful inspiration and committed performances of a wide range of repertoire. Comprising musicians from across the world, the orchestra curates engaging programs which extend across five centuries of musical history, spanning popular masterworks, adventurous cross art form projects and pieces commissioned especially for the ensemble. Collaborations have included projects with the London Russian Ballet School, the Manchester Singers and painters from South West London.
Arch Sinfonia perform in a wide range of settings with artists from numerous artistic disciplines. The orchestra has collaborated with renowned soloists, such as Inbal Segev, Zsolt-Tihamer Visontay, Amy Harman, Hannah Roberts, Katy Wooley and James Fountain amongst many others. Arch Sinfonia has enjoyed a varied creative output, from performances at the Chapelle des Invalides in Paris and LSO St. Luke's (Old Street) to appearing on adverts for Ford and Sony.
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.
Arch Sinfonia remains most grateful to our Patrons who share our vision for the future of orchestral music and bringing audience and musicians closer together and is thrilled to announce its new charitable status as a CIO.

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.”
