The most important and significant orchestral development in Wales in recent years.

I came away feeling privileged to have been part of such enthusiasm and talent

Sinfonia Cymru has been an absolute lifeline for myself and many of my contemporaries in the difficult transition from studying to professional life.

This orchestra has been such an important part of so many young musicians lives and education.

The young musicians of the Sinfonia Cymru orchestra have such nice attitudes, they are so positive and fresh in their playing, it is always a pleasure to work with them

Sinfonia Cymru does sterling work on two fronts in Wales: it gives vital experience to young professionals, and it also brings seminal repertoire to audiences who might otherwise never get the live experience.

"Sinfonia Cymru presented me with the opportunity to perform at an extremely high level both as a chamber and orchestral musician. Working alongside like-minded young instrumentalists aspiring to becoming professional orchestral musicians makes this orchestra unique, fun and inspiring. Sinfonia Cymru, under the superb guidance of Gareth Jones has shaped and encouraged my musical development and has acted as one of the main catalysts in becoming a professional orchestral musician in the BBC National Orchestra of Wales."

The quality of Sinfonia Cymru's playing was remarkable
