The Mornington Sinfonia is a friendly, welcoming orchestra in North London which is particularly suitable for intermediate players.

The orchestra meets each Thursday evening during term time. Half term break is on 18 February 2010, and the last rehearsal of term will be on 25 March 2010. Repertoire for the next few weeks of term is :
