Help Britten Sinfonia PLAY ON

“Britten Sinfonia ought to enjoy national treasure status”

The Telegraph, March 2023

Join Dame Sarah Connolly, Roderick Williams, Steve Reich, Sir James MacMillan, Alison Balsom and others in helping secure the future of this outstanding orchestra.

For 30 years Britten Sinfonia has been pushing the boundaries of what a chamber orchestra can do, winning praise for its quality and breadth of performance across musical eras and genres.

But recently Arts Council England announced that Britten Sinfonia will be cut from its National Portfolio of regularly funded organisations this year. That means a cut of £1m over three years, putting everything we have created and planned at risk.

In response, we have launched the most urgent fundraising appeal in our history, PLAY ON, asking everyone who cares about music and excellence to help secure our future.

Our appeal is led by some of today's brightest musical stars. Join them and help Britten Sinfonia play on.
