Unlike Any Other Orchestra in PA

About the Sinfonia

"... By all evidence, this is technically the best orchestra in the Valley."

-Philip A. Metzger, The Morning Call

"... the superlative concert version of Mozart's 'Cosi Fan Tutte' performed by the Pennsylvania Sinfonia Orchestra and six fine soloists constituted a major cultural event."

-Paul Schlueter, The Express Times

Pennsylvania Sinfonia Orchestra, as the preeminent orchestral ensemble in the Lehigh Valley, has set the regional standard since its inception in 1982. Frequently praised for its innovative and interesting programs, the orchestra features many of its own first-chair virtuosi in solo performances as well as guest soloists recognized for their ability to communicate with the audience.
