New Bristol Sinfonia

New Bristol Sinfonia is one of Bristol's premier symphony orchestras, with regular performances in major venues throughout the city.

The orchestra has played with such internationally renowned artists as Natalie Clein (cello), Madeline Mitchell (violin), Rafal Zambrzycki Payne (violin), Guy Johnston (cello) and the Swingle Singers. more...

Listen to the orchestra playing Dvorak's 9th Symphony
(last movement - Allegro con fuoco):

"There was rapt string playing at the start of Le Jardin Feerique and this Mahlerian-style slow movement was exquisitely performed."
