Sinfonia Cymru: Bold, brilliant and all over Wales 

We are Wales’ orchestra of young talent, a collective of dynamic professional musicians all aged under 30, from Wales and around the world. Whether we’re performing classical music, new compositions or exciting collaborations with celebrated musicians from other genres, we play with passion, precision and a spirit of adventure. 

You’ll find us where music matters most: in the heart of Welsh communities. We perform in places audiences feel at home; from arts centres and concert halls to pubs, village halls, care homes, schools and beyond.  

Musicians join us and we support them at the start of their professional careers. When they’re with us, we help them to grow and take the lead in curating concert programmes and deciding what music to play. They are some of the most talented young musicians and all our concerts – from concert halls to village halls – are of an exceptionally high standard. We play without a conductor so there’s a deeper connection between our musicians and you, the audience.

Every year we collaborate with well-known artists and international stars who inspire and challenge us. These concerts combine classical music with folk, jazz, West African music and a rich mix of styles in exciting and unexpected ways. Recent collaborators include Catrin Finch, Bryn Terfel, Jess Gillam and Abel Selaocoe. We’re also passionate about inspiring the next generation of Welsh music stars, so we organise free music workshops in schools and colleges. 

We are regularly welcomed to perform at some of Wales’ most popular arts venues, including Aberystwyth Arts Centre, Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama (Cardiff), The Riverfront (Newport) and Theatr Clwyd (Mold). Our commitment to performing in smaller communities includes our annual free ‘Cymuned’ tour, which visits museums, pubs, miners’ institutes and village halls across Wales.  

If you live in Wales, we’re sure to be performing somewhere near you. So join our email list for the latest updates, and we hope to meet you at a concert soon.
