More Information
HWS meets for a 4 day course in the spring holidays
and for one Repertoire Day each term, undertaking
exciting and challenging repertoire in many styles and
genres.
 
The Sinfonia has played many specially
commissioned works and also very popular pieces to
the more obscure!
Playing in HWS is an exciting opportunity to not only
play great music but to work with professional coaches
on technical aspects of your playing. The orchestra
performs in high profile venues, most recently Watford
Colosseum and St. John’s Smith Square in London.
Other venues include the Royal Northern College of
Music in Manchester, London’s Barbican Hall and the
Royal Academy of Music. The orchestra has recorded
three CDs and has regularly commissioned new works
and presented first performances.
Entry standard is Grade VII, though there are occasional
exceptions to this. As well as brass, percussion and
wind instruments, there are places for piano/keyboard
and string bass.
