ABOUT WYATT SINFONIA

Wyatt Sinfonia was founded in 2018 by Zoë Miara and is based in East London. It draws together a diverse range of young professional musicians. It has always had a strong emphasis on facilitating community music, both to make concerts available to the local community, and to enable local people to participate in concerts. More recently it has re-focussed on education work. Wyatt Sinfonia has hosted five successful 'Come and Sing' events, in collaboration with Victoria Hay and St John of Jerusalem Church, as well as two large-scale education projects at Evolutionary Arts Hackney, reaching over 550 young people. The group is also committed to performing new music and lesser known works from across Europe, notably performing the UK Premiere of Pejačević’s Symphony in F# minor.

​

Wyatt Sinfonia has developed with its players. It started as a youth orchestra, made up of local players who also played with the National Youth Orchestra and the London Schools' Symphony Orchestra. As these students moved on to university and conservatoires, the orchestra was able to tackle increasingly difficult repertoire. The players' maturity was demonstrated in their performance of the full ballet of Ravel's Daphnis et Chloe in 2019. The players are now young professional musicians with a breadth of experience, many of whom are pursuing interesting portfolio and freelance careers.

​

Wyatt Sinfonia is named after Mary Wyatt, who was a piano teacher and organist, and great-grandmother of Zoë Miara.
