English Sinfonia would like to say a big thank you to all its supporters. Their generosity helps the orchestra to thrive and widen the access to its music. However we need to raise significant sums to ensure the future of the orchestra and enable us to take on inspiring new projects and develop our exciting education programme so we are seeking further support from individuals, companies and trusts.

Be our friend

As English Sinfonia re-emerges as one of the country’s leading chamber orchestras, it provides an opportunity for members of its audiences, its followers and admirers and all general supporters of the arts to invest even small sums in the future of this orchestra. English Sinfonia friends and patrons share a love of music and believe that to invest in the future of artistic excellence and in the highest quality music will inspire and uplift not only themselves but a far wider community of music lovers.
There are several ways in which you can support the English Sinfonia, from making a small donation and becoming a Friend, to embarking on a tailor-made scheme that enables you to become a Guardian of the orchestra. At whatever level, we would be delighted if you would join us and are happy to spend time talking with you about your choices.
