The Oxford Sinfonia, founded in 1984, is an amateur chamber orchestra of the highest standard.

We promote five concerts a year and also specialise in accompanying choral societies. We organise instrumental workshops, and are involved in twinning concerts, fireworks concerts and concerts for charities.

In 2007 The Oxford Sinfonia raised £1000 for Medecins sans Frontieres and supported Oxfam in a come-and-sing Messiah.

We support the ART ROOM charity in come-and-sing concerts in the Sheldonian Theatre: 2007 Haydn Creation, 2008 Verdi Requiem, 2009 Mozart, Haydn and Handel. 2010 brings Mendelssohn Elijah.

We are a registered charity no 1005364.
