The Simon Sinfonietta was created in 2004 to bring together great musicians to perform music for enthusiastic audiences. Each season the 40-piece chamber orchestra features the finest symphonic players from the Boston-Providence-Cape Cod triangle to perform in historic Falmouth, Massachusetts under the baton of Maestro Stephen Simon. Proceeds benefit Falmouth Academy, Historic Highfield, and WCAI.
The chamber orchestra, an orchestra comprised of approximately 40 musicians, originated in the baroque and classical eras. Differing from the large-scale symphony orchestra that grew up in the late 19th century, its clarity of sound, brightness of spirit, and aura of intimacy has also attracted composers of the 20th century, such as Igor Stravinsky and Aaron Copeland.
The Simon Sinfonietta connects a rich repertoire of familiar and rarely performed pieces with great musicianship to create sparkling seasons of musical delights.
