Trafalgar Sinfonia was founded by its Musical Director, Ivor Setterfield and was originally created to accompany the London choirs he directed. The orchestra, comprising outstanding instrumentalists from the London music colleges, quickly developed a reputation as a virtuosic ensemble in its own right. It is now established as a professional orchestra with a regular season of London concerts and an international following. The Trafalgar Sinfonia has performed at all the major London venues including the Royal Festival Hall, Kings Place, the Barbican Hall, Cadogan Hall, and the Royal Albert Hall, and continues to display both warmth and brilliance within a truly diverse repertoire. Recordings by the orchestra include English String Serenades, featuring works by Warlock, Vaughan Williams, Holst and Elgar.
