About The Last Night...with Sinfonia of London and John Wilson
Often described as a ‘super-orchestra’ (ArtsDesk), Sinfonia of London under the baton of John Wilson brings together outstanding musicians from the UK and abroad, including principals and leaders from of the world's greatest orchestras, notable soloists and members of distinguished chamber groups. The orchestra only comes together for a select few special projects throughout the year, and this, the last night of our 2026 Festival will be exactly that.
‘Sinfonia of London sets the gold standard – an orchestra of generals that takes the unfashionable, the obscure, the overlooked, and makes it unmissable’ (The Sunday Times).
