Sinfonia Viva is the only professional orchestra in the East Midlands, an area including six counties and covering 6,500 square miles. From our administrative base in Derby, we have a national reach through our concerts and creative community projects, across in person performances and projects, and digital delivery. Innovation, creativity, participation, and collaboration are hallmarks of the Orchestra’s work, driven by our overarching aim to enable as many people as possible to engage with orchestral music.

Working across the East Midlands, from the larger urban centres of Nottingham and
Leicester to the rural communities of Derbyshire and Lincolnshire, requires Sinfonia Viva to be a flexible ensemble. We give full scale chamber orchestra performances in
purpose-built concert halls, cathedrals, and an annual open-air concert in Derby, in
addition to regularly working as a string orchestra and in smaller chamber ensembles in venues ranging from churches to community spaces. This broad range of performances is reflected by the diverse audiences who engage with our concerts. Our concerts in
outside of concert hall settings will often attract audiences who are representative of the
communities we serve, with many attending an orchestral performance for the first time.

Sinfonia Viva places equal importance on our work off the concert platform, and our award-winning creative project work has a national reputation. We regularly deliver
projects in Essex, East Yorkshire, Norfolk, and Suffolk, alongside our programme within the East Midlands. All our creative programmes, whether for people living with dementia, refugees and asylum seekers, disabled and learning disabled children and young people, or in education settings in areas of socio-economic disadvantage, take a collaborative approach to creating new work. The involvement of Sinfonia Viva musicians within these projects, as creative collaborators, support artists, or performers within final sharing performances, is key to the success of these programmes.

For the last 40 years Sinfonia Viva has been a key part of the cultural life of the East
Midlands, and as we move forward after the disruption and challenges of the last two
years, we remain deeply committed to providing access and opportunities to orchestral
performances for our communities, and to champion the diverse breadth of repertoire and talent within our sector.
