Docklands Sinfonia is a diverse, dynamic & versatile orchestra working with composers, producers and promoters across film, rock & pop, and classical music.

A major cultural force in Docklands and beyond - bringing high quality music to the area, staging ground-breaking concerts and creating a lasting legacy by inspiring generations of young people.

Since its formation in 2009, Docklands Sinfonia has enjoyed incredible success with performances for Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace and with Grammy-award winner Imogen Heap at the Royal Albert Hall. The orchestra received standing ovations for its world premiere performances of Roy Budd's score to the 1925 silent film, Phantom of the Opera at the Barbican and London Coliseum. It has appeared on BBC Radio 3 and BBC1 and performed the first-ever concerts in the Tower Bridge's Bascule Chamber under the Thames. 

Docklands Sinfonia has also performed with world-renowned classical artists such as Alison Balsom, Jennifer Pike, Leonard Elschenbroich and Elin Manahan-Thomas as well as the English National Ballet and artists from the Royal Opera House. 

The orchestra is proud of it's close association with renowned songwriter and producer Mike Batt and has recorded albums for leading artists such as Olly Murs, Katie Melua and toured the UK with rock band Hawkwind. 

Firmly grounded in our East London community, Docklands Sinfonia was founded by conductor Spencer Down, whose grandfather worked in the docks. His love of music was born listening to his grandfather play trumpet in working men’s clubs in the East End.

The orchestra is currently bringing classical music to school children with its specially-commissioned educational project 'The Caretaker's Guide to the Orchestra’ by Jeremy Holland-Smith - shortlisted for in the 2018 British Composer Awards and featuring children's artist and illustrator James Mayhew. To date, it has performed for more than 5,000 school children in East London.

We are available for hire.
