Orpheus Sinfonia exists to help musicians flourish and inspire audiences through bold, innovative performances. We bring music into communities, nurture exceptional emerging talent through our Foundation Programme, and reimagine how music is experienced in the 21st century. Join us in shaping the future of music.
Orpheus Sinfonia is one of London’s most vibrant, dynamic and inspiring orchestras. A bright beacon in the UK’s orchestral scene, our aim is to bring high quality music making to everyone.
The support of our Patrons is vital. It enables Orpheus Sinfonia to champion the next generation of musicians, bring world-class performances to audiences, and ensure music continues to thrive at the heart of our communities.
Music has the power to transform lives. Our bold performances connect people and reimagine how classical music is experienced.
Through our Foundation Programme, we nurture outstanding emerging talent, giving young musicians the platform and support to flourish.
We take music beyond the concert hall, reaching schools and communities who might not otherwise experience live performance—because music should be for everyone.
By joining our Patrons Scheme, you will help shape the future of music in the UK while enjoying unforgettable performances from today’s most exciting artists.
“Being able to grow as a musician with Orpheus has helped me reach places I could never have imagined.”

“I have been a Patron for 4 years. The impact Orpheus creates and the way that continues to uplift me has been very dear to me.”
Deborah, Patron
Becoming a Patron, or giving one of our memberships as a gift, is a great way to support Orpheus Sinfonia and make a difference. All patrons have the choice to be credited (or not) in our supporters lists. We want to thank you!
Did you know that the average cost of an Orpheus Sinfonia concert is several thousands of pounds?
Even taking into account income from ticket sales for a sell-out concert, the generous contribution of sponsors and the kindness of established soloists, many of whom play for a fraction of their normal fee, our income level for a concert falls far short of our total expenditure. Orpheus Patrons are a vital income stream for the funding of concerts. Without their contribution it would be impossible to maintain both the quantity and quality of our concerts throughout the year.
Become an Orpheus Patron, and become part of our family!
