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. We're currently rehearsing each week until 29 March 2012 (apart from 16 February, which is half term). This term we're playing:

Schumann: Genoveva Overture
Haydn: Symphony No 99 in E flat
Mozart: Symphony No 35 (Haffner)
(the links above are to the IMSLP Petrucci Music Library, for downloading scores and parts)

Term dates for 2012 are :

Spring: 19 January - 29 March (half term 16 February)
Summer: 26 April - 5 July (half term 7 June)

This means that we'll almost certainly give concerts on 29 March 2012 and 5 July 2012.
