Milton Keynes Sinfonia |
When the new city of Milton Keynes was in its infancy, an amateur
symphony orchestra was formed in 1971 with the aim of performing works from the full
range of the orchestral repertoire to a high standard. Now, forty six years later,
that same orchestra has become an important part of the cultural and musical
life of the city and the surrounding area.
The orchestra is very much a community orchestra, run primarily for its members
and those interested to support them in the performance of major orchestral
works.
David Knight is the conductor and has been with the orchestra since 1992. The
Orchestra at that time was few in number and he has been largely responsible for
helping to build the orchestra to its current size and consistently challenges
members with a bold choice of programme. He is also Principal 'Cellist with the
Bedford Sinfonia with whom he has also appeared as a soloist and conductor. He
is a member of other leading local orchestras, including the Orchestra of Stowe
Opera and the Cornerstone Chamber Orchestra.
