Britten Sinfonia

Guest Artists

The artistic vision of Britten Sinfonia is built around the extraordinary skills and development of its players – all chamber musicians and soloists of the highest quality.  Britten Sinfonia invites international artists from across right the musical spectrum to work with them on projects suited to the particular skills of each visiting artist. More recently the orchestra has developed close associations with certain artists who they consult and work with regularly.
