ANNOUNCING OUR 2025/26 SEASON
More than two years into a period when Britten Sinfonia has no regular funding from Arts Council England – a period now extended, even more challengingly, to five years out of the National Portfolio – I’m proud to announce a full and rich range of activity in our 2025/26 season.
Through the generosity of a wide base of supporters, we have again been able to build a schedule for our brilliant musicians that is characteristically eclectic and, as a recent Guardian reviewer noted, ‘innovative as always’. Read on, and click for details of many of our concerts next season.
