“There is no need to worry about the future of music in this country as I am sure it will flourish in the hands of the players from Southbank Sinfonia … I can only look on with jealousy that twenty years ago when I entered the profession there were no orchestras such as this one.”
Michael Murray, Horn, Academy of St Martin in the Fields
“What strikes me about Southbank Sinfonia is their tremendous ability, commitment and energy – that’s a powerful combination and an absolute joy to work with.”
Graham Sheen, Bassoon, Academy of St Martin in the Fields
