Balmain Sinfonia is a Sydney-based symphony orchestra. Our aim is to bring high quality orchestral music to the community at affordable prices. Many gifted players, amateurs and professionals, give freely of their time to achieve this aim.
We have one concert left in our 2024 season!
Our next concert, entitled ‘Celtic Fantasy’ is on Saturday 14 December at Balmain Town Hall. See the ‘concerts’ section for details.
The orchestra generally plays music from the mainstream repertoire. However, we’re also known to throw in a few surprises to keep things lively and interesting! In 2024 we will continue to feature work by an Australian composer at each of our concerts.
Our Conductor and Musical Director is Monica Buckland. She arrived in Australia in 2020 after forging a distinguished career as a conductor in Switzerland, Germany and the UK.
Come and join us
We are looking for talented musicians to join us. At the moment, we are especially interested to hear from trombone & double bass players, but are happy to hear from anyone!. If you have orchestral experience and can play at least at a Grade 7 level, then get in touch with us at thebalmainsinfonia@gmail.com. We are a friendly and enthusiastic group who rehearse on Sunday evenings in Balmain.
