SINFONIA TAMESA
For all soon-to-be-graduate instrumentalists – Sinfonia Tamesa is waiting
for you! We are London’s only amateur/semi-pro orchestra consisting mainly
of recent graduates, with large numbers of ex-CUSO/CUMS/CUCO Cambridge
musicians in our ranks. We aim not only for fantastic performances but
have also established ourselves as the most sociable, lively and friendly
of London orchestras, with regular socials, mad after-parties and a rather
concerning ability to get recognised in any pub or bar in the Waterloo
area.
Our reputation for quality in performance has recently received the BBC’s
stamp of approval, when we were selected as one of only 3 London
orchestras to participate in the upcoming BBC2 series Maestro under the
baton of celebrity conductors such as Goldie and Alex James, to name but a
few. Our programmes incorporate all the big symphonic standards, as well
as choral collaborations, projects with new young composers, and concertos
in collaboration with the emerging stars from the London music colleges.
We hope to build on our ‘youthful’ image in coming years through
community work with schools and through charity concerts, as well as further
projects along the lines of Maestro.
Any instrumentalists who, like me, found themselves drifting inexorably
London-wards, aching from the sudden lack of daily fixing requests in the
barren wasteland of their new corporate lives; WE NEED YOU! Please get in
touch now via email: u.sagar.03@cantab.net, and get yourselves on our list
in advance of our autumn concert, which will begin rehearsing in October.
I hope very much to see many of you there!
Happy graduation and have a great summer,
Ursula
