About Us
		Kent Sinfonia was originally founded in 1962 by Béla de Csilléry, achieving charitable status and becoming fully professional in 1995. Making classical music accessible and sharing it with everyone across the County of Kent, and beyond, is the orchestra's core objective, particularly in those areas where there are currently no conventional entertainment venues. So, to create the magic and inspiration that classical music can bring, our performances take place in a fascinating variety of spaces, including wonderful heritage sites such as castles and historic churches - all so plentiful in Kent.
		This chamber orchestra comprises up to 40 professional musicians - all with Kent connections and many of whom also perform with major orchestras - who are dedicated to furthering the aims of the orchestra. As well as the commitment of a regular series of concert performances, we are developing outreach programmes collaborating with local primary, secondary and specialist music schools, including the Yehudi Menuhin School. These programmes will normally be run in parallel with performances
