Artist Biography
The Royal Northern Sinfonia is a highly acclaimed chamber ensemble that performs a wide range of repertory, from Baroque to contemporary fare, including commissioned works. It is perhaps best known for performances of music by British composers, particularly Britten, Elgar, and Vaughan Williams, but has also garnered praise for its varied repertory, including works by Mozart, Schubert, and Stravinsky, among many others. The Royal Northern Sinfonia has performed throughout the U.K. and abroad, including at major concert venues and festivals, and has made over 100 recordings. The ensemble performs its regular concerts at the Sage Gateshead, many of them broadcast over the U.K.'s Classic FM. Queen Elizabeth II bestowed the title "Royal" on the orchestra in 2013. Following several guest conducting appearances in 2020, Dinis Sousa was appointed the Royal Northern Sinfonia's principal conductor in 2021.
