The Orchestra

West London Sinfonia is an amateur orchestra with ambition and passion. Our players, many of whom work in music or music education, come from all over London. Most of our players have non-music day jobs, but for all of us, making music is an important part of our lives. We perform a wide programme of music with a concentration on larger orchestral works from the 19th (especially late 19th) and early 20th centuries. We regularly perform with world class soloists, and we are fortunate to have Philip Hesketh as our musical director and Iwona Boesche as our leader.

Upcoming Concerts

On Sunday 15 June we give our annual chamber music concert at the beautiful venue of St Mary’s Perivale UB6, starting at 7.30pm. The programme includes Shostakovich’s 5 pieces for 2 violins and piano, Handel’s Sonata for 2 cellos and piano, bassoon trios by Weissenborn, and Schubert’s great C Major String Quintet. We conclude our season on 5 July with a chamber orchestra concert at St Anne’s, Kew Green, also at 7.30pm.
