The International Symphonina Orchestra

Many people have been asking us about the International Symphonina Orchestra recently. It’s an orchestra we assemble each year of players worldwide. In the spirit of our mission of spreading the joy of symphonic music, we offer paid opportunities to young aspiring performers from across the globe to record as part of the orchestra along with elite established professionals, and have their work published on our annual album. Everyone records their part separately and then we do the engineering to have them sound as one orchestra. This year, the International Symphonina Orchestra performs on three Symphoninas on Symphonina Stories: New Horizons (Unseth: Painted City, Prather: Tales from Spooky Town, and Fogel: Flutissimo). You can enjoy videos from touring violin soloist and Symphonina Foundation Ambassador Annelle Gregory CLICK HERE and from college viola player Nicholas Nelson CLICK HERE about their experiences with the orchestra! Please let us know if you’d like to participate or know someone who would!

Update on Activities

Team Symphonina has been busy attending and supporting many of our indie colleagues at their performances this month, from New York to Dallas to Los Angeles. We’ve so enjoyed the opportunity to appreciate all of your live performances and getting to meet many new friends.
