• “The reasons for Britten Sinfonia’s incremental rise in the past 20 years are various, but among them are a commitment to interesting programmes and the assiduous building of relationships”

  Financial Times

• “The playing was marked by the kind of luminous and infectious beauty that only comes from a true marriage of mastery and love”

  The Guardian

• “The UK’s most consistently dynamic chamber ensemble”

  The New Statesman

• “I haven’t heard a chamber orchestra performing with such extrovert character and unflagging energy for years.”

  The Times

• “But as always with this orchestra there was more to savour than just stellar perfomance. The programme was ingeniously shaped.”

  The Daily Telegraph, Ivan Hewett

Britten Sinfonia at Lunch

Our award-winning At Lunch concerts feature Britten Sinfonia principal musicians performing major works from the chamber repertoire.  This season our At Lunch concerts explore Britten’s chamber music alongside his influences and contemporaries. Drawing inspiration from the programmes will be new commissions from emerging and established composers.

Britten Sinfonia At Lunch was awarded the RPS Chamber Music Award 2009.
The Cambridge concerts are recorded for future broadcast by BBC Radio 3. 
The series tours to Brighton, Cambridge, London and Norwich.
