West Forest Sinfonia has been giving concerts of professional quality since 1987. Membership is drawn from the extraordinary pool of musical talent that exists in Berkshire and the surrounding counties. In addition to a series of concerts given at The Great Hall, Reading University, members of the orchestra perform regular chamber concerts at South Hill Park, in Bracknell. The orchestra is also hired to accompany local choral societies.

The orchestra delights in expanding the musical horizons of both its members and audience. As such, under the inspired leadership of the conductor and musical director Philip Ellis, the orchestra has enjoyed rehearsing and performing not only the great orchestral classics but also some wonderful, but often neglected, British music. Take a look at the Past Concerts section of the website to see the wide and diverse range of repertoire performed over the years.

Principal Conductor: Philip Ellis
