Kent Sinfonia

The Kent Sinfonia is a professional orchestra based in Kent, with members who either live in Kent or who have strong links with the County, and many of whom also play with the major London orchestras and throughout the country. Established in 1962 by Béla de Csilléry, then County Music Adviser, the orchestra gained full professional status in 1995.

A registered charity and one of the foremost orchestras in the South East, its aim is to take music to all. Central to this is its extended educational programme devoted to the next generation of concert goers. Kent Sinfonia also works with top international soloists and offers a platform for outstanding young artists.

In 2007 the orchestra recorded it's first CD, ‘Lost England’, featuring music by George Butterworth and Walter Leigh, British composers both killed at a young age in World Wars.
