An orchestra of exceptional quality and vision, the Britten Sinfonia could well be described as a different kind of orchestra, too, as its not defined by the traditional figurehead of a principal conductor but by the dynamic and democratic meeting of the orchestra’s outstanding team of gifted and individual players as well as a broad range of collaborators ranging from Steve Reich, Thomas Adès and Alison Balsom to Pagrav Dance Company, Father John Misty and Anoushka Shankar.
