Silk Street Sinfonietta is a London-based ensemble dedicated to showcasing young talent and championing new music. Founded in 2022 and comprised of students from London’s leading conservatoires, the Sinfonietta has been a regular presence at the Guildhall School, where it performs new music by both established and emerging composers alongside core 20th centure repertoire.
Committed to premiering a new work at every concert, the ensemble’s repertoire ranges from intimate clarinet quartets and chamber operas to important works by composers such as Ligeti, Hans Abrahamsen, Hollie Harding and Sylvia Lim. Embracing a broad spectrum of styles and aesthetics, the Sinfonietta is passionate about fostering a vibrant platform for both established and emerging composers.
At the heart of the Sinfonietta’s mission is a safe, inclusive, and pedagogically focused environment that nurtures creativity through collaborative workshops and rehearsals. By inviting experienced composers such as Julian Anderson and Laurence Crane to mentor and support the next generation, the ensemble cultivates meaningful artistic development for composers and players alike.
We are committed to representing composers from a diverse range of backgrounds. Our ensemble is committed to fostering an inclusive environment where all voices are heard, valued, and empowered.
Recent highlights include hosting the Guildhall School of Music Composition department Open Day concert in Milton Court in February 2025, which has strengthened the ensemble’s collaborative spirit and public profile. Looking ahead, the Silk Street Sinfonietta aims to deepen its partnership with the Guildhall School to further enrich education and expand opportunities for young musicians and composers, sharing their work with a wider community.
The Silk Street Sinfonietta was co-founded and is run by Antoine Veillerette and Yotham Ben Yami.
