City of London Sinfonia

Welcome to the website of City of London Sinfonia, a chamber orchestra performing music with a special focus on the human voice and repertoire by British composers. We appear throughout London, the UK and beyond and, when not on the concert platform, regularly work creatively in the community.

Opera Holland Park

CLS is delighted to be appearing as resident orchestra for the sixth year running at London's popular summer festival, Opera Holland Park.

"...the hottest ticket in town. Each year Opera Holland Park appears more of an urban miracle...Fine orchestral playing from the City of London Sinfonia".

The Observer on ROBERTO DEVEREUX

"A smashing show, well sung and played under Peter Selwyn's baton with relish of the score's graceful and rumbustious dancing quality."

The Independent on HANSEL UND GRETEL

The Guardian has published an article about our time as resident orchestra at the CARTAGENA INTERNATIONAL MUSIC FESTIVAL in Colombia back in January. You can read it here and find our blog from the event here.
