Welcome to the New Bristol Sinfonia

New Bristol Sinfonia is one of Bristol's premier symphony orchestras, with regular performances in major venues throughout Bristol.

Concert Reviews

Such supple and rich string-playing, expressive woodwind ... the mellow tone of the brass and the energetic skill of the percussion would please any professional outfit.

Sponsorship Opportunities

We are seeking new sponsorship, no matter how small, from individuals, companies or other organisations to help us continue to run the New Bristol Sinfonia. The orchestra is a registered charity and as such cannot survive without funding. Funding pays for venue and music hire, promotion, conductors, guest performers and even the programmes you read when you attend concerts.

The New Bristol Sinfonia is made up of gifted amateur musicians who are passionate about music. We come from many diverse backgrounds, and from all over the West Country and beyond - from Dorset to Derby and everywhere in between! We love playing in the New Bristol Sinfonia so much that we all pay subscription fees and manage the day-to-day organisation ourselves.

The orchestra is very grateful for the generosity of members of the orchestra and our audience and the support from the Paragon Concert Society. This enabled us to celebrate our 10th anniversary in 2007 with a gala concert at the Colston Hall and to promote three major concerts in 2008. We are now seeking further funding to help us plan for 2009 and beyond.

If you know of anyone or any organisation that would be interested in sponsorship, please let any member of the orchestra know, or contact Romana Bevington on 07720 770309 or email her by clicking here.
