Britten Sinfonia Academy (BSA) launches its fifth season with an intensive course focusing on chamber orchestral skills: leadership, sectional playing and playing without a conductor. In this first, immersive experience, members will play side by side with professionals from our parent orchestra delving into works by Britten and James MacMillian and working toward a performance celebrating the launch of Britten Sinfonia’s first season as Resident Orchestra at Saffron Hall.
