About NDS

The North Devon Sinfonia (NDS) is a symphony orchestra which draws on local talent for its members, all of whom come from a variety of professional backgrounds. The orchestra performs four concerts a year throughout the North Devon area and beyond and specialises in the symphonic repertoire of the Romantic period and Twentieth Century. Recent highlights have included a performance of Bruch’s Violin concerto at the Landmark theatre with Mary Eade, and a collaborative concert with the professional Orchestra of The Swan as part of the 2007 Two Moors Festival. The orchestra has an exciting programme ahead for the coming year and many other interesting ventures in the pipeline for future seasons – watch this space!

Conducted by Emma Kent (Birmingham Conservatoire & Royal College of Music), the NDS aims to deliver high standard concerts that are both accessible and affordable. The orchestra offers a balanced programme of popular and lesser-known works to suit all tastes.
