Sinfonia Varsovia is one of Poland's premier orchestras with a rich history and a reputation for musical excellence. Founded in 1984 by Yehudi Menuhin, the orchestra emerged from the earlier Polish Chamber Orchestra, taking on a grander scale and versatile repertoire. Over the years, Sinfonia Varsovia has built its name through international tours, regular festival appearances, and collaborations with renowned soloists and conductors. Its discography displays versatility and a commitment to promoting lesser-known works alongside classical staples, embracing diverse genres and composers.

The ensemble has demonstrated a particular affinity for Polish composers, consistently featuring works by figures like Karol Szymanowski in their repertoire, as evidenced by the release "Nielsen & Szymanowski, Violin Concertos." Sinfonia Varsovia is also known for its dedication to contemporary music, often premiering modern works and highlighting composers such as Sofia Gubaidulina with albums like "Sofia Gubaidulina: Works for Cello & Accordion." Their recording activities extend from classical masterpieces to soundtracks, including "Dark, Almost Night (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)." As a versatile and dynamic orchestra, Sinfonia Varsovia continues to break the barriers of classical and modern music, promoting cultural dialogue through its performances and recordings.
