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
Our next concert features Shostakovich’s famous “Leningrad Symphony”, composed in 1941. A performance by the Leningrad Radio Orchestra on 5 March 1942 – at the height of the siege of the city – was broadcast by loudspeaker across Leningrad and to the Nazi lines as a show of defiance.
