The Sinfonia of London is a distinguished ensemble with a storied history and a revitalized contemporary presence, dedicated to delivering high-quality performances primarily in the classical and romantic repertoires. Originally founded in 1955 by Muir Mathieson, a prominent Scottish conductor and composer, it was established as a recording orchestra to facilitate soundtrack productions for British films, contributing to the golden age of British cinema. Throughout its initial era, the Sinfonia of London collaborated with illustrious composers and performed a broad spectrum of works, ranging from film scores to classical concerts.

After a period of dormancy, the orchestra was resurrected by British conductor John Wilson in 2018, who infused it with new life as its Artistic Director. Under Wilson's leadership, the Sinfonia of London has focused on recording projects that showcase an expansive and eclectic repertoire, as evidenced by their recent releases. From the intricate strings of Bacewicz, through the romantic complexity of Enescu and Ysaÿe, to the expressive orchestral compositions by Ravel and contemporary works by Pounds, the orchestra demonstrates an unwavering commitment to both the depth and breadth of musical expression. Their recordings have been critically acclaimed for their nuanced interpretations and technical excellence, securing the Sinfonia of London's reputation as one of the finest orchestras on the international music scene today.
