About Boston Sinfonia

Boston Sinfonia was accepted as 'Orchestra in Residence' at St Botolph's Church (largest Parish Church in England and known as 'Boston Stump') from the outset and now the orchestra also performs concerts in the local Boston area at various venues.
The orchestra players database currently has over 90 musicians on the list. The size of the orchestra for concerts varies, depending on the venue and the music to be played, and can be as few as 25 or as many as 65. There are two rehearsals before each concert at the venue, usually on the Friday evening and Saturday afternoon prior to the evening concert.
