"The music-making was committed and passionate...incredibly impressive playing."
The South Birmingham Sinfonia (SBS) is a full sized non-professional symphony orchestra committed to music-making of the highest standard. SBS is based in Bournville, Birmingham UK. Please explore these web pages to find out more about SBS or go to the Orchestra's facebook pages.
Like everyone else, our activities had to be put on hold during the corona virus pandemic. However, in Autumn 2021 we successfully returned to in-person rehearsals and are looking forward to restarting playdays and concerts from 2022.
Do get in touch with us if you have specific requests or questions.
Programme:
As usual, profits will go to St. Mary's Hospice.
Our last Playday was planned for Saturday 22nd January 2022 but had to be cancelled because of COVID. We are hoping to put on a new playday in the Autumn. Watch this space for details!
The November 2019 Playday was on Saturday, 2nd November, when we studied Saint-Saëns’ Symphony number 3.
Places may be available in a number of sections of the orchestra, e.g. most string instruments, and some others. Now that the COVID crisis is (hopefully) behind us and we are setting up full programmes for the future it is time to consider joining. Please ask!
SBS has a long record of support for St Mary’s Hospice and makes regular donations to this worthy cause from its concert profits. The upcoming concert is no exception.
