| Dartington Sinfonietta |
March 26th sees the eagerly anticipated launch of the Dartington
Sinfonietta, a new professional orchestra formed with the purpose of
serving Devon and Cornwall with classical performances of the highest
standard.
The orchestra is the brainchild of Simon Capet, a multi-award-winning
conductor who has recently moved back to the South West after two
decades living and working in Canada and the USA.
An Exeter boy, Simon
studied at the Royal Academy of Music before going on to conduct many
groups across North America including the Vancouver Opera, New York Pops
and Toronto Philharmonia.
Over the past decade Simon has built a strong reputation for his
innovative approach to presenting classical music. This reputation has
largely been built on taking chamber arrangements of large-scale
orchestral works into unusual venues like nightclubs, community halls
and even shopping centres.
“Our goal for the Dartington Sinfonietta is very simple”, enthuses
Simon. “We want to serve the people and communities of Devon and
Cornwall by taking fantastic music into all communities however small or
remote.”

concert, Simon Capet can be contacted by email at simon@simoncapet.com or telephone at 07599 684312
