Founded in 2012, by the dynamic young conductor Chloe van Soeterstède, the Arch Sinfonia has become renowned for its boundless energy, youthful inspiration and committed performances of a wide range of repertoire. Comprising musicians from across the world, the orchestra curates engaging programmes which extend across five centuries of musical history, spanning popular masterworks, adventurous cro
ss art form projects and pieces commissioned especially for the ensemble. Recent collaborations have included projects with the Royal Academy of Art, London Russian Ballet School and the Manchester Singers. The Arch Sinfonia perform in a wide range of settings with artists from numerous artistic disciplines. Phillips Earls Court, the orchestra has collaborated with renowned soloists, such as Zsolt-Tihamer Visontay, Amy Harman, Di Xiao, Katy Wooley and James Fountain amongst others. Arch Sinfonia has given performances at the Chapelle des Invalides in Paris, LSO St. Luke’s and the Guildhall School in London. The orchestra has appeared on an adverts for Ford and Sony. The Arch Sinfonia is on a mission to re-examine the possibilities of an orchestra and break down the barriers between audience and musicians. By inviting members of the public to sit amongst them during concerts, the Arch Sinfonia hope to build stronger relationships with audiences and increase the understanding of how an orchestra works.
