Choral Partnerships
All the benefits of a professional orchestra…for a lot less than you might think.
We will look after booking and management of all the players for you and will present a top-quality professional ensemble on the day. We can organise any number of players you require: from a string quartet to a full symphony orchestra of 90 or more. We can also provide a Baroque orchestra. We take care of any necessary equipment for you and can hire the orchestral music and scores on your behalf. You make one simple payment to Orpheus Sinfonia, after your concert, we look after all the payments to musicians and there are no hidden extras.
Benefits of working with us
Book your musicians
We fix the entire orchestra, including organist or continuo if required, and organise all scheduling and logistical details.
Hire your music
We can arrange to hire all of the orchestral parts and scores and can work with the conductor in advance to mark up any parts as required.
Settle musician payments
We invoice you after your event so you only have to worry about one payment, without all the paperwork or GDPR concerns.
Hire percussion
We will organise all hire and transportation of percussion.
Stage management
To ensure a slick and professional running of the concert, if you need us to move things around, between pieces, we can do that as well.
Provide orchestral equipment
We can bring our own stands, stand lights and music folders.
Last-minute emergencies
We all dread them, but our extensive lists of superb players of every instrument, built up over many years, means we can solve any problems as soon as they arise.
