We warmly welcome any musician who enjoys playing music, rehearsing, performing and socialising with other members of our society. Sinfonietta welcomes any members of Imperial College London – whether you are a student, member of staff or even an alumnus. Due to the limited number of places, we hold auditions for most roles, although strings players are not auditioned. There are also opportunities for players to join as concerto soloists, either via the College’s concerto competition, or by getting in touch with us!
Membership is £25 for the year, and this funds our rehearsals, as well as all the socials and events. For non-performers, valid membership gives you access to watch any of our concerts throughout the year. Membership can be purchased here.
