Side-by-Side Projects
Our Side-by-Side projects are another important facet of our Education Programme. Southern Sinfonia actively works with youth orchestras and other community organisations to provide young musicians with the fundamentally important experience of working and performing with professional musicians and conductors. These projects are tailored to suit the individual needs of each group and can range from a day in length to more long-term projects.
Our most recent collaboration has been with Hampshire County Youth Orchestra, putting these upcoming musicians into contact with the internationally-renowned Fitzwilliam Quartet. Shostakovich’s Chamber Symphony in C Minor formed the main profile of the project, due to the Quartet's close association with the composer.
